Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

     I was wearing a bright red shirt today when several hummingbirds started dive-bombing me!  Their sweet little feeder was only a few feet away from the deck but I guess I looked like a much bigger flower! Ironically, I had just finished the hummingbird and hibiscus painting this morning and was enjoying lunch on the deck.
     Other birds are coming around now too. Yesterday I had visits from a Northern Parula and several Black-Throated Green Warblers along with the more frequent visitors including Goldfinches, Chickadees, Juncos, Purple Finches and others.  Its good to be back in Maine watching spring break out.  Its a busy time...the garden got tilled and the lawn mower went in for a tune-up today.  And I'm getting ready for the spring and summer shows with new paintings.... including the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.  Check out the Show schedule for upcoming shows....starting on Memorial Day weekend in Meredith, NH.  Hope to see you there!
