Hummingbird…
These little guys just fascinate me…
They’re very protective of their food supply. They’ll chase other birds away if they get too close. This one perches on a branch ten feet away and stands guard against all threats to its feeder.

I’m sorry… but this just totally brought the Junior High kid out of me. It made me laugh…

Moon and Crows
Every evening at sunset, several flocks of hundreds of crows fly by my house on their way to their evening roost.
The five in this photo were in a murder of about 50 or so. I know where they’re headed. I want to go there in the next few evenings and catch photos of them.
250mm handheld… had to hurry!

Seven Turrets
Seven Turrets – Project Flickr: 26/52 – Exactly Seven, originally uploaded by James Milstid, aka PapaJames.
These Turret shells are from the Turretella genus of sea snails that prefers living on muddy or sandy bottoms.
I believe that they were used as a sort of currency in ancient times.

Of course I’m a hummingbird… duh!
This guy was trying his best to get to the sugar water… he sat and watched the hummingbirds, then came over to try it himself.
