Isn't nature amazing. If people weren't so scared of wasps we might more often get to see and appreciate those beautiful nest structures they create. Though, only the other day, I read of a lady who died from wasp stings after disturbing a nest - so take care!
I love hummingbirds. Bought a feeder just like the one in your photo. Filled it with the sweet water. Waited. No hummingbirds. Just don't know if they're around these parts.... :(

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

Each one its little game!
Two images that evoke such different feelings in me. I saw humming birds in San Francisco ..so tiny and perfect.
Gosh, those wasps look more like hornets! Nice shot of the humming bird.
WOW ... great pictures!

Wonderful photographs Vicki.
that is so cool....seeing hummingbird up close is a really neat experience...
The wasp closeup could provide a design for art nouveau jewelry!
Lovely photos.
Nature is awesome and those are wonderful pics! XO
Waspers and hummers, unique combination! Love them.
Thank you for bringing the beauty of our whole world to us every day.

How beautiful! All the busyness of life carrying on around us, so often unnoticed in our own frenetic days.
Do you need any other reasons for coming to live here?
Mind you, I'd not get as close to wasps as that.
