Hummingbird at Iris, Pond, Juniper

Hummingbirds don't usually seem interested at all in irises, but they seem to adore these super-tall yellow ones that grow in our pond. (This is the first year we've had so many blooms.)

Today I happened to have my camera when this female came to feed and have a little drink from the pond.

My favorite picture is actually this one of the same hummingbird perched in one of the Hollywood Juniper trees near the pond.

Seeing Double. Two Beards: Better than One?


This Victoria Falls iris is extra-neat. One of the falls features a double-beard! (Bee isn't fazed.) Click on the image for a better look.
