My Hummingbirds Fly South!

I put two feeders out before leaving on vacation, since I knew my hummers would be leaving very soon and I did not want them to leave without being filled up & plump for their long journey south.  When we arrived home after 7 days, I hurried to my feeders and saw that only half of their sugar water was gone.  Yep, they had filled up and gone south while I was up north fishing!

I will miss my hummers, but I did this little watercolor of a male, however he left around a week or so earlier than the females.

A New Challenge!

I have decided to embark on a new journey today.  This journey is about water, paper, paint, ink, and of course, birds.  It's about taking the time to not only look at the birds around me, but to actually sketch them and observe their behavior.         

For my first post, I have attached a couple of sketches that I have made of my very special hummingbirds.  They will be leaving  my feeders soon to travel down south, so over the next few months I would like to sketch and paint them.  They are God's special little birds to me and speak volumes of God's love and care to me.  I would like to share all of that with you.  Enjoy the journey with me and please do comment whenever you like!
