201/365: "Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself." ~ Saint Francis de Sales
2 pictures in notes above! :)
A few days ago I was out taking pictures of flowers in my little garden when a hummingbird flew up and sipped nectar from the allium blossoms. I had no chance of taking a picture but hoped that at some point I might get lucky.
This morning I was taking pictures of a white poppy when...ZOOM!!! In comes the hummingbird, flitting from allium to poppy flowers, and then up and away. Not enough time to aim, but I stopped what I was doing and hoped and waited patiently for it to return. Then, to my delight, down it flew and hovered in front of one of my gladiolus flowers! It was close enough to get pictures and I was READY!! I managed to get about twenty pictures, and these three were my favorites! I am so excited because these are the first pictures I've ever taken of a hummingbird away from a feeder!!! HOORAY!!!
Francis de Sales, C.O., T.O.M., A.O.F.M. Cap. (French: François de Sales) (21 August 1567 – 28 December 1622) was a Bishop of Geneva and is honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. He became noted for his deep faith and his gentle approach to the religious divisions in his land resulting from the Protestant Reformation. He is known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly the Introduction to the Devout Life and the Treatise on the Love of God.
