Despite the tiny dancer vision, her presence consumes the garden
With a fanning flutter of wings, she dances as she flits all about
Pirouetting amidst dawn’s warmth, seeking a moment of respite
Whilst she drinks of sweetly laced nectar to slake her parched thirst
And eagerly pursues the fragrance of the blossoms’ bright petals.

Hi-Cc ~ Just have to say my Garden Variety hummingbirds aren't so nice. If I even glace up at their babies in the nest they dive-bomb me..! Recently my gardener wanted to trim my trees; told him no way...we have 'babies' up there. Always my best to you, Jj.in.l.a.
