Yes, I am a landscape gardener by trade. My eyes are too old to notice the goings on in the following video at youtube in real life. Moreover the action moves far too quickly.
The closest I have ever been to any kind of a hummngbird among the countless many who monkey around so many perennials in bloom, occurred two summers ago while I was in the garden talking to my son, Chris via cellphone when darting out of the garden’s vegetative massings came this creature about two and a half inches long and parked itself no farther than two feet from my nose. buzzing his wings…..and it was a male…..
It remained suspended spinning away studying my geography with my mouth agape and silenced.
“One, two, three, four, five”……I counted in thought…..nine, ten, elev…….and it darted away as fast as it arrived……You’ll never believe what buzzed into my face space”, I excitedly reported to my son.
Later I wondered if this ruby throat thought my eye balls contained any nectar…..and then I got shook…….Do you know how fast this darter shoots through the air? I couldn’t have blinked fast enough to close my eyes had he moved in on them full speed to check out the menu.
Friend and fellow conservative, Jan Desirey sent me the following youtube video beauty.
Contrary to university Marxist dogma holding the contrary…..There IS such a thing as beauty….and some things are more beautiful than others.

You got that right, Mr. Ray. Thank God for the beauty of the hummingbird. Such beauty is neither a reality nor an ideal in the Marxist mind. Nature’s astounding loveliness can only be appreciated when our mind and spirit are free.
