On Sunday evening (Mother's Day), I was walking back from the community plot and came across these gigantic poppies. They were simply too beautiful to pass by without getting a photo or two even though the sun had set about half an hour earlier.
The photos are not the best quality but I think they look a bit like paintings.
I went out on the patio in the wee hours of Saturday morning to take a few photos. I was excited to find a hummingbird perched high on a nearby tree. My camera battery was dead and I had to use my phone so the quality is not the best but I think you can make out the outline of the bird at the top of tree (right side of the photo).
The hummingbird was perched quietly on the tree top for almost 30 minutes in total. I was hoping it would make it's way to my patio garden but it never moved until it flew away. I spotted another hummingbird flitting about and drinking nectar from the blossoms on the Solomon's Seal on my patio. It moved far too quickly to take a photo and didn't stay very long to enjoy the nectar.
The sunrise is always so peaceful and beautiful. I love the golden colour of the sky.
At about 4:30 a.m. it gets rather noisy with the seagulls squawking overhead. They zip back and forth and back and forth like they are going crazy. It is almost like they are excited about having freedom in the skies at that early hour. I do not know why they don't do this during the day time too.
There are always several seagulls flying about but I only managed to capture one as my main subject was the hummingbird.
Thank you for your visit to my blog.
