:bounce: A beautiful lady, Neil!!! To have a wave of cooperative Hummingbirds flying around and perching so close is a thrilling experience... impossible to resist them! The other birds have no chance to have their picture taken! ;) Thank you for sharing this lovely picture, it brings me back memories of better times!!! :t: :t: :t:
