    Lovely hummers.  The flowers in the first picture are nearly as fascinating as the bird.

    I absolutely love and miss the hummers on the west coast. (They only migrate through briefly here in TN) It makes me think of all the naked coral trees in San Diego, too. Those are breathtaking trees, that bloom on bare branches with bright orange-red flowers that hummers love. Gorgeous photos, Mum.

    Lisa, are the coral trees in bloom right now? When I was growing up, there was a bottlebrush tree outside my window, and the hummers would nest there. They make perfect, egg cup shaped nests.

    YES!!! So beautiful, Lisa. Thank you! They are so stunning! I haven't seen those trees much outside of SD. I just love the contrast between the bare branches and the blooms.

    Magnolias bloom like that too Lisa. I love them!!! My first DH used to call them Kleenex trees!! WTF??? He said because when they dropped their flowers it looked like Kleenex on the ground....what an idiot...I should have known then!

    CHABBA!!!!! That one took my breath away.

    Julz -- your set took my breath, in a whole different category.

    Loved the hummingbird. Meecie, did you tak that one??

    Here's the photo taken of our little quintet after our amazing lunch together in Tampa this morning. From left to right: BarbaraA (yes, our beachie Barbara, then Choca, Silka, me/Faithie and TerryCarolyn: choca, Silka and TC are all ol' time chatters from way back when.)

    Silka is spending a couple of months from snow-covered Indy, bunking in at Choca's place. This is the first chance I've had to meet her.

    Our BarbaraA is a teeny tiny teenie wonder. I couldn't believe it. I had pictured her as a towering tall gal -- LOL. I had NO idea. She hardly rates as petite..... the time flew by soooooo fast!
