Hummingbird!

We've got a nice patch of bee balm outside the window of our kitchen. I've been noticing this little humming bird outside over the past couple of weeks.
I finally was able to capture it on film, chip, whatever one now calls the photo medium in the age of digital photography. The bird was a tricky thing to photograph since its movement was so frenetic.
I've cropped and blown up and adjusted levels on this photo just to make the hummingbird more visible -- lots of green and red in this shot and the bird blends in really well. It is dead center in the photograph.
When I first saw saw the hummingbird out of the corner of my eye, about two weeks ago, I thought the it was some sort of giant bee.

It's great to have a hummingbird in the yard, now if I could get it to my feeder.

A thing of (relative) beauty

Cold beer. Hot day. Little bit of heaven.

More info Metrowest Ice Cream Tweetup #mwtweetup

WHEN: Thursday July 16, 2009 7 PM
WHERE: Needham Junction Ice Cream Shop

View Larger Map

Lots of area Tweetups are in Boston. In bars. Here's one for the suburbanites and other folks for whom it can be challenging (Boston traffic!) and expensive ($20 just to park for two hours?).
I like bars, and enjoy a tipple now and then, but summer nights sometime call for ice cream too. Bring your kids. I'm bringing two of mine and @johnhaydon is bringing his too.
The Junction Ice Cream shop is in the Needham Junction train station. There is ample free parking, and if it goes long enough the bats that live in the brush along the tracks but on an impressive aerial display over the train tracks at dusk

Hope to see you Thursday.
