    We only feed the hummingbirds here as the seeds attract too many rodents- I need to find sunflower seeds that are coated with cayenne pepper as it doesn't bother the birds but the rodents cannot eat it! Too spicy! Have a lovely day!

    I captured an image of a bunny just like the one above, a couple of years ago. He was in our backyard and I was amazed at how close I was able to get. We have red-winged black birds in our neighborhood, but they are hard to photograph. Nicely done. Have a blessed week.

    Beautiful bird! Birds make me feel alive so I have always loved them. Even as a kid when I thought I might catch one! Enjoy a wonderful week and hugs to you across the miles.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers!
