The Hummingbird

I finally managed to snap decent pics of this lil hummingbird whose been zipping around the cold, winter-barren branches of our carport lately...
 

Hang in there, lil hummingbird! Spring's not too far away...



Edited to add: My friend, Ellen, just sent me this link about a hearty hummingbird whose currently the toast of Manhattan.

Hummingbirds fucking rule!

Beej Weir is on the Schmap!

A few weeks back, I got a message at my flickr account telling me that 2 of my photos had been shortlisted for inclusion in the upcoming 8th edition of the Schmap Guide for San Francisco and asking me for my approval of said shortlisting.

If my photos were used, I'd get a photo credit and a link to my flickr account.

I gave them the go-ahead, figuring they'd probably opt for photos from, y'know, actual photographers with training & skill.

But, no, they did indeed use my photos. Sweet! They're part of the Golden Gate Park & SF Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum sections.

These are the photos in question (click on the thumbnail for the full magilla...)


Thanks, Schmap Guides!
