Oh Nature!

Not a camper, that's no secret.  Do I love the outdoors?  From time to time, for a controlled period of time, sure.  As long as there's bug spray, sunscreen, plumbing and ample opportunity to go inside when I've had enough.

But who could resist falling completely in love with what's just two feet away from my upstairs hallway window? 

These two baby hummingbirds were discovered by my boyfriend Phil at the beginning of last week and quickly became our central point of attention.  For days, our regular check-ups on the babies were the same.  The two of them snuggled in their nest, no momma in sight.  Beginning to fear they'd been abandoned and would surely starve,  we were in awe and relief to later catch glimpses of the mother feeding her hungry babies.

Truly amazing and ridiculously adorable.  


Alas, those two are growing fast and won't be there forever.  Who knew we were going to be experiencing empty nest syndrome so soon!
