Day 54 Joy in a hummingbird

This morning, as I was looking out my front window, I was shocked, surprised and delighted to see the first hummingbird at our new feeder I had just put up last night.  The beauty of the bird, it's amazingly rapid fluttering wings, it's elegant emerald green body, brought back memories of the birds at my grandma and grandpa's cottage up north as well as their home in Arizona.  One of the last times we had went to visit them in Arizona, I was probably in high school and discovered the love of cameras.  I remember how tame the birds that visited their feeder were, as I could sit out on their patio and get close up pictures of those amazing birds.  Today, I was taken back to that joy.
