I think hummingbirds are the coolest little birds.
We have them nesting in the tree in front of our place. They stay through the winter too. I'm not sure how these wee birds manage in the cold. During a snow storm we had a few years back I spotted a little fella on a very small branch, with the snow swirling around him and the wind was blowing really hard. I am sure I saw him once do a 180. I thought he might be dead and frozen to the branch. Happily that was not the case, as a few miutes later he came to feed at my feeder. In the cold weather I have 2 feeders so I can alternate them when one freezes. Love watching these, and all birds! So this was a great challenge to do.
Oh yeah, the card.....I had to rush to get this done before I have to leave. This is another gorgeous stamp from Me and Carrie Lou. Love it. It is so hard to get a good photo as it shows up too much sparkle or none at all. I stamped with Versamark, heat embossed with gold tinsel ep. Colored with Prismas. Border and butterflies are Martha Stewart punches. Spellbinders tag. And a few dewdrops added. TFL and have a fantabulous day! : )

Soooo pretty! We love our hummingbirds too .... but they head south from here in late August! I had no idea they could survive in the snow! Birds are another of life's miracles!
