I was shooting into the sun so the sky is blown, but the hawk isn’t. 😀

I don’t have much in new content so, I’m reaching into my archives. This image was from a trip to a safari zoo here in Nevada during a time #1 Grandson was here on a visit.

I love its eyes! Not looking at me but, very aware of my camera and presence. Very keen and crafty for sure!!

I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through it!

Venus shines bright in the eastern morning sky. The star cluster near the top of the image is the Beehive Cluster. This cluster is in the constellation of Cancer and contains 1000 stars. You can find more information about this cluster and how to see it here.

We’ve had two female, and one male Black-chinned Hummingbird regularly visiting my feeder. I like to think the females are mother and daughter, and the male is the father. However, all is not peaceful around the feeder oh no, they’re fighting for territorial rights! The two females have no problem drinking together, but the male has sharing issues.

When I first put the feeder up it was only the male coming by, but then a female found it, and now a second female started coming by about 2 weeks ago. I think I’ll need a second feeder soon. I’m refilling the feeder every 4-5 days.

Here’s a still one of the females on approach. She’s so tiny!

I love seeing them coming by on and off all day.

We have had #1 Grandson for an extra week which has been wonderful, but, it’s about to come to an end… really he’s going home this week-end. School starts up soon for him.

I hope your week is going well, and your week-end is wonderful.
