Back to the Hummingbirds

I spent the majority of the day attempting to reclaim the house from the clutches of the painting demons. When you paint you have to get all the artwork off of the walls and get everything out of the way and into the center of the room. This makes for a huge mess. It looked like someone went through our house and made giant junk heaps in the middle of each room! I worked for quite a while on my office. It's going to be a long haul but worth it in the end. We are sorting and getting rid of a lot of stuff to go the thrift store. This evening I was really ready for a break. I had a quick shoot with the hummingbirds in the backyard. This will be the last time for this set up with the fuschia flowers. It has proven itself to be a winner. Fuschias and hummingbirds just seem to go so well together. I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow. God's blessings be upon you, chris This image was created in Mendocino County, Northern California.
