Third day of May. Day 48 of following social distancing guidelines. I think I'm way past the 'cabin fever' phase and now I'm at the 'feeling like a zombie' phase. I try my best to keep busy and find inspiration around me. It's been rainy these past few days and the hummingbirds have been rather active. I have 3 feeders up on our balcony and there were around 4 to 6 hummingbirds, fighting/taking turns. I decided to just hang out on the balcony and attempt some shots. Just as I was setting up my step-stool it started to rain. Our beautiful feathered friends tend to not fly as much when it rains and so I had to wait. That's when I noticed a little splashing on a branch of a tree by our backyard. A little hummingbird bathing in the rain. Of course they are magnificent when in flight, but I must say that they're also adorable and delightful to watch when they're going about their day to day business when not in flight.
