The Phoenician
Well, the first day of golf is in the books and needless to say it was not stellar. At least there was great weather, beautiful scenery, and just the two of us. Couldn't decide on just one pic, so I went with several!

Hummingbird...not sure of the type.

Many of the cactus are blooming.

I love these guys.

The 8th hole on the Canyons course.

Not the greatest photo, but had to get the Gamble's Quail! Made me think of my 4-H Wildlife years when I used to raise them.

As usual, there were a ton of hummingbirds in the backyard this year.

Hummingbirds!!

They come in a close second to my bluebirds. We have hummingbirds the entire spring, summer and fall...and they are CRAZY hummingbirds. They are always buzzing around, usually shooting way up in the air and then dive-bombing back down.

For a number of years I have always tried to find their nests, but have had no luck. Today the first hummingbirds of the 2010 season arrived!

I told you there were a lot of them!  This one is snacking on a petunia in one of the hanging planters.

What?  Another hummingird?

I caught this little guy, or gal, enjoying penstemon.

Hummingbird...yes...another

The hummingbirds enjoy sitting on the wire of the tree posts and tomato cages.

I believe this one is a Calliope.

Humming Bird

This summer it seems that we have an unusual amount of hummings birds. They are fun to watch and listen to.
