This was a fun challenge. My favorite sport at this time of my life is birding...as if you couldn't guess. So here is a ruby-throated hummingbird who chose to share the garden with me the other day when I was picking herbs to use in cooking dinner. This year we have a passel of incredibly tame ones that buzz all around us if we go near the feeders. I swear if you are not careful you will end up with one in your ear. I love them!
And another unconventional, but oft indulged in sport, wherever there are cattle, is fencing....so in honor of the Olympics, here are pics of the two days this week that Alan and I spent at the practice of that.....sport.
For more Sunday Stills......
Fencing! LOL!
