element is fascinating.

Recently I had several close encounters with a hummingbird buzzing past me as I approached my mom's front door. Turns out the bird was an expectant mother guarding a tiny nest she had built in a bush in the entryway. Sure enough, a week or so ago two tiny identical beaks peeked out from the nest.This evening the little ones are already fitting a bit snug,looking like they'll soon be ready to fly the coop. I'll miss them. Nature is truly amazing.
