Ruby-Throated Hummingbird: 13 May 2007

We just love watching the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds sip at the Pineapple Sage!
Here is some video of the hummingbird too.

Front Garden 15 May, 2007

Pair of Cardinals

One of the coolest things about living in Georgia is that we've gotten to see some different type of birds like Cardinals! They are so pretty and are always together in a pair!
We bought a feeder and found out what seed to buy that would attract mostly Cardinals and Safflower seeds fit in that category.
Here are some video we took this afternoon! The male is very loud and makes a chirping sound almost constantly...that's how we know they are nearby! LOL

Here's the Male and Female, it always seems like the male checks things out first and then the female comes over after him.

Pineapple Sage for the Hummingbirds

Gerard got these photos of a Ruby Throated Hummingbird today! We just love watching them hum around their favorite flowers. The one he's at in the photo is a pineapple sage and if you brush the leaves it smells like pineapple! So far it seems to be their favorite flower in our garden right now.

Back Garden

The blooms on Climbing Peace rose haven't done too well because of the freeze. But other flowers have been doing great and were protected well enough.

We love sitting out here and just enjoying the garden!

Hummingbirds have already started visiting!

We spotted this Fuchsia at Lowe's and just had to buy it! We had one last year and the hummingbirds loved it!

Front Garden

Here's the front garden as of late. The freeze we had really hindered things even though we tried to protect stuff. All the first blooms have been disappointing! Kind of discouraging but hopefully the garden will start to flourish now.
