Camera Shy Hummingbirds

You can see the blur of the hummer's wings in the photo above.

The snow is gone from the lower valley and the rivers and creeks are running high. Our driveway had its own little pond for several days. The weather has been warm and sunny and I've been able to sit outside on the porch with my tea and book during the afternoons. The hummingbirds are frequenting the feeders but they are camera shy. I did get a few (less than great) shots of them.

I finished the landscape quilt and I'm planning another. I've also finished scanning my own slides and I've started on Mom's which go back sixty years! Our local quilt guild, Estes Valley Quilt Guild, has a new president and board. I've met with them twice this week to untangle a few issues and I am optimistic for the coming year. It's a great group of women with a lot of talent. I've made some of my best friends through my quilt groups.
