I was out in the yard walking around checking out the flowers and the garden. Some of the flowers are starting to have that late summer look to them. But the sunflowers are in full bloom and these white things (you can tell who isn't the flower person) are bright and fragrant. [I have since been told they are phlox]

What caught my eye was this tiny humming bird darting around this flower, stopping long enough to sip from on bloom and then on to the next. Very methodically it danced from bloom to bloom, though the order looked random, it probably wasn't.




It was about an inch long and didn't get too disturbed as I moved to within a few fee of it. Then off it flew up over the trees.
