As the temperature dips lower and lower, the yellow flowers are coated with snow and icicles hang like wind chimes outside my bedroom window. I've been trying to keep the hummingbird feeder from freezing. There are at least two little birds who depend on me as they puff up and try to keep warm. They hover near the window and watch as I warm their hummer-juice and start drinking before I can hang the feeder up! One almost flew into my cupped hands the other day. I'm sure he could feel the warmth...and maybe the love?
your images always look so fresh. where do you live?
ReplyDeletelol, hummer-juice. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of compassion you paint...warming the hearts of humming birds with your love...
ReplyDeleteYou're a special person,
Blessings, Maithri
I know it was the love !!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the love and concern for their welfare! I can't believe they are still there! Do they stay there all winter? I thought they were all supposed to go to warmer climes this time of year.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to take a picture of you doing that. They will and on your hand and feed there if you let them.
What beautiful photos! I do hope that the hummingbirds stay warm :)
ReplyDeletei love watching the season flow past your viewfinder. each day a little bit different, following the cycle of nature. i have done that myself with the feeder...poor little things but they have you to count on! did i ever tell you about the time a hummingbird slept for a day in joe's pocket? it's true!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful captures! I think it was the love, too. I'm surprised the little guys don't fly to warmer climes.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you even have flowers with color left on them. Beautiful winter images.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have missed the words that flow from your loving heart. Be well, my friend. Thank you for the pictures of compassion you have painted in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThe delicacy of your images mirrors how i imagine the little hummingbirds are, when they're hovering by your window - magic!
ReplyDeletePoor little hummingbirds, but lucky ones too. Waiting for you, knowing you will be there for them. What a connection.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the 70s today, and humidity is the name of our town. Back to colder temps tomorrow - Texas weather. Today your icy images help me stay cool. They are incredible & I feel I could just reach out & break their fragileness. But I won't.

I also wonder where you live, that there are still flowers despite the cold. And the hummingbirds! I think hummingbirds only visited my mom's house in Texas in the spring.
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos are so beautiful... I hardly know what to say. And you are able to catch close-ups with such clarity. I am always amazed.
All of your December photos have been beautiful Jaime, I've really enjoyed coming to visit your page and I'm always excited at what your next photo may be :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Jaime
ReplyDeleteSeasons greetings. THis post, as always, is beautiful.
don't you sometimes wish you could just help the little birds a little bit...maybe make a new little nest for them right there by your window...with extra softness inside...and warmth...and then every day you could give them some food...and more warmth..and more love...and maybe then they will come in through the window...and join you for breakfast.....and laughter...and twitter as the snow softly fall outside...xx
ReplyDeleteCold, but oh so beautiful!
ReplyDeletelife and death, beauty and decay, warmth and cold... there's such a delicate balance in your photos and words...
ReplyDeleteI came here many times...and many more times i ll come.
ReplyDeleteFeel the warmth of your love.
