many thanks, Alan, glad you like it. Smiling at all the comments re the window, - I guess people were wondering about me always saying I got all these images at the open window, - it never dawned on me as to how it must've sounded :) But with the patio area and garden being "sunken" we look out onto it, from the front windows, and see all sorts of happenings.

About the big flower :) - got a new software program, so am having fun experimenting with all the new gizmos on there.

thankyou everyone, for all the very nice comments, glad you like it, Karen, Ann and Janice. Thought perhaps it needs lightening a bit? Smiling about the "blind" comment, Karen, and am glad you now have seen where I sit, Ann :)

To be honest, I have considered trying to think of a way to pull the venetian blinds down more and do a better job of hiding, but other than cutting a chunk out of the blinds, haven't had any better ideas :)

If you notice the brown cushion I'm resting my arms on, on the window sill, -- last summer it fell down onto the patio below and damaged a lovely Martha Washington geranium that was below the window.

Alandra hi there! This is such a wonderful reflection of a

photographer capturing a hummingbird. I always wondered when you said,

"taken from my window" how that was really happening. This is truly

a fun and beautiful photograph.

WOW Alandra. This is the best shot I have seen you take. I love the way the hummingbird is dancing around the ball and you look cute hanging out the window. I love the way you are hanging out the window also.
