Feeling Fortunate

Inspired by my friend Judy's lovely hummingbird shot, I finally got my feeder back up. I feel so lucky to be able to spend my afternoon relaxing on my deck with the book I'm reading, "Buddha's Brain" and waiting to see if the feeder is found by the local birds. This guy flew over to assess the situation before coming to the feeder not far from where I sat. As you can see the skies were getting darker again as another storm approached.

I wish I had gotten him in this shot, but those little guys are too quick for me. I did manage to capture this Blue Heron in flight while watching the clouds rumble past.
