| I love to watch the hummingbirds at my bird feeders. |
 |
| They are so aggressive in protecting "their" feeder, wanting to keep all the nectar to themselves. |
 |
| This little Ruby Throated Hummingbird found his favorite perch to use in keeping a look-out on the feeder he claimed as his own. These hummingbirds make me think of a book I am reading called "Dangerous Surrender" by Kay Warren. In this book she speaks of being just a "white suburban mom with a minivan", who was busy raising her family and serving in her church. She states that she was totally unaware of the AIDS crisis until one day when she read this phrase in a magazine: "Twelve million children orphaned due to AIDS in Africa." What does that have to do with hummingbirds at their feeders? I think too often I'm like that little hummingbird who tries to hoard all the sweet nectar for himself. Reading this book makes me wonder what else I should be doing... Click HERE to see my unusual Name for God on Rock 4Today! |

Dear Easter,
The pictures remind me that without water, there is NO life. Thank you for sharing those lovely photos.
I love those little hummingbirds have a nice day
the birds are so cute! :)
Beautiful pictures of this beautiful hummingbird. Very good catches. Exquisite colors. Greetings.
Beautiful photos / I love hummingbirds when they come to visit my flowers but I doubt I could catch them on camera the way that you do!
What wonderful pictures! The book you are reading sounds wonderful too.
They're sweet! Wonderful photos! I've yet to see any in South Florida :(
My hubs had on a brightly colored tie-dye the other day and a humming bird kept following him around. It must have thought he was just some big colorful flower. So funny!
I am reading that book, too!
*Visiting from Mrs, Jenny's!
I love hummingbirds, and I love the analogy that occurred to you as well.
We all need to make sure that we are not too busy gathering in to give back.
=)
Very nice post. If we all did a bit more to make the world a better place, just think how amazing the world can be!
I loved Sue's comment here.

PS. I left a comment on your 'My Health' post and I hope it showed up. There was a weird message after I posted it.
I would love to see hummingbirds in my yard, but haven't got around to put up a feeder for them yet..So I love your photos!
This is about the 4th post ( PLUS Internet article ) that I have read about hummingbirds in a week! :)
you have some wonderful photos!
I have them around visiting my flowers here and there and had one hovering close by me for a minute over the weekend while I was sitting outside...but that made me think that I should have a feeder...and now here is your post substantiating that!
hmmm....very thought provoking.
