A few weeks ago we hung this little hummingbird feeder. We were amazed to discover that the hummingbirds (who nest in a tree in our backyard) discovered it within hours.
Maybe it makes me sound old or stupid? But I don’t care. I love watching these amazing creatures in my backyard. And I love watching them up close when they are at the feeder.
So every few days we take it down and clean out the little bottle of sugar water, then mix up some more for them. It’s really fun! We can’t believe how tame they are. (You can get like 6 inches from them.) And it’s really cool when they come close or “buzz the tower.”
This morning, I thought it would be fun to set up my camera to take time lapse pictures while we went to the farmers market. All told, we captured about 2 hours of pictures… one every 10 seconds. 665 frames.
The video above is the result.
The song, as you may recognize, is from Jars of Clay. It’s called The Long Fall. (click here to buy it on iTunes)
With the new site design, I thought it was time for a new graphic for my weekly music post. (The last one survived about 4 redesigns!) I had some fun with PhotoShop this morning as you can see. Other than that, today is a typical Saturday. Kids are bouncing off the walls. We’ve eaten pancakes. And we have a list of things to accomplish.
