Peaceful Moment

Sometimes, the light hits just perfectly. This is a female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), and she seems to be pausing briefly to bask in the sun. Of course, it’s probably less of a pause and more of a fleeting moment—these tiny creatures rarely stay still for long. While I often capture photos around my hummingbird feeders, I especially treasure opportunities like this, when I can photograph them in more natural settings. This particular shot was taken just a few days ago. In addition to nectar, these birds also feed on small insects.

You know, the photographs I post here are not as vivid as the same ones in my Pixel's gallery. This is because I reduce the size and slightly decrease the quality of the photos to make them easier to load. Take a look:

"The image captures a striking ruby-throated hummingbird perched delicately on a slim branch. Its underside is white, while its back shimmers with green hues, creating a beautiful contrast. The bird's long, slender beak is perfect for sipping nectar. Around it, green leaves add to the natural setting, and the softly blurred background helps draw attention to the bird and its vibrant details. It's a wonderful moment that highlights the elegance and charm of this tiny creature!" - Copilot

A little more fun with the TTArtisan Mirror Lens. I love the effect it has on the gold grasses, the sand and the trees although it probably doesn't show itself well on a small screen.

By the way, these ducks and I are building a pretty strong rapport, so expect to see more (and hopefully interesting) photos of them in the future. 😀

Horizontal frame. Two ducks posing on the sand about 1/4 from the bottom of the frame. To the left is a white hybrid and to the right is a Mallard. Both are looking to the right. Behind them golden grasses curl into rings beautifully as this is an effect of the “donut bokeh” lens used. In the distance are green pines.

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

And then there's Charlie. He has this habit of wandering in whenever he pleases, placing his front paws on my left leg, and staring at me intently. He’s an incredibly needy dog. Sometimes, I wonder if he’s afraid we might send him off to live among the strays we often pass during our walks through the neighborhood or along the road. I think he just wants to check and make sure I’m still here. Here he is again—this time, he’s decided to curl up on the left side of my chair and keep me company. Ben? Ben is older and more independent, though he has his clingy moments too. He doesn’t like being alone and will often bark insistently until I join him in the family room to keep him company.

Blue Horizon Flyers The image beautifully captures five pigeons soaring through a vibrant blue sky. The birds are gracefully gliding with their wings outstretched, showcasing the elegance of their flight. Positioned diagonally, they create a sense of harmony and movement against the pure, uncluttered background. It's an inspiring snapshot of freedom and nature's artistry.

Just finished #reading Birding with Benefits by Sarah T. Dubb. I enjoyed the little touches that firmly placed it in the #Tucson #birding world. This was the first cis/het #romance I have ever read, and it was definitely far more allosexual than my experience of the world. I skipped some of the chapters my wife had marked as being too spicy for me. But if you like that, give it a read. It was a good modern story with a queer supporting cast that takes the lead in the sequel.

Tuesday midday, rain is tapering off. A male Rufous Hummingbird continues to guard one of the feeders, forcing the other feeder to be refilled 3-4 times a day for the rest of the flock, mostly Anna's and juvenile Rufous.

A Rufous Hummingbird is perched on steel hook. The bird has a bright yellow to orange collar, a white breast and rufous sides.
