With fascinating quickness and graceful beauty, the tiny hummingbirds have exited the stage of summer. I will miss their daily performances on my front porch, and applaud their return next season.
With winter's onset, I have not seen my bluebird friends for many weeks and have been concerned that they had found a home elsewhere. This one's appearance outside my window today made me happy indeed.
I was drawn to the friendly nature of this domesticated Muskovy duck, and found him worthy of being featured in my photo blog. It simply proves that looks aren't everything.
