Hop and Hum

"Hippitty Hop" is going to be my first Easter stitch.  I say first as I might get one or two more worked into my rotation. 

Solomon an Indoor Cat, gets to spend a bit of time outside.  He is very, very taken with birds and thus requires supervision.  There are Juncos in that Daphne - can you tell? 

I don't worry about the cats and Hummingbirds this time of year.

There's not much in bloom, so the Hummers stick to my feeders and insects.

They are very territorial are rarely share the feeders.

I have one at each end of the Front Porch.

So you'd think I could have two birds anyway, one at each feeder.  But not for long as one will run off the other.

The morning light was just right to add a glint to the ruby neck feathers.

I think we were basking in the sunshine.

The green feathers too had an iridescent sheen to them.
