The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

Photo #348 x 4

Our friend Dave took these photos a few days ago-here's what he had to say:
"This little guy flew into a window while being chased by another Anna's hummingbird. He was stunned. and I was worried that his wing was broken, as it was askew when I picked it up. But after about five minutes of holding it, he recovered and zoomed away when a rival hummingbird went on the attack again."
--Dave

Thanks Dave for sharing these great photos!

Late afternoon in the old orchard



We are now in Los Altos visiting dear friends for a few days. They have lived here for 30 years. The old apricot orchard
is in decline due to gophers and oak root fungus.
However, their citrus orchard is still thriving and has an
amazing vaiety of oranges, tangerines limes and lemons!
Citrus heaven!!!! Fresh juice at an arms length!
