Perch for the Hummers

I recently planted some tomato plants into big metal tubs which sit on raised platforms by our deck.  This is a great way for me to be doing some gardening without bending down.  These tubs are on the top level and already have the tomato cages in ready for lots of growth.
The hummingbird feeder is quite close by and the hummer has found a neat little resting spot right by the feeder.  It actually looks like the feeder is closer than it really is.
The female ruby throated hummingbird is posing for my lens friend this week on Camera Critters.  Be sure to stop by and see lots of other great photos of different critters. I'll be watching for more great photo opportunities of this adorable little bird.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day.

  15. Great photos - they are so fast, they're hard to get a good picture. They are such funny little creatures. They want to stay as close to the food bowl as possible!
