This just happened and I was so excited I forgot to draw in some leaves. I went out to draw my Dad’s Rose of Sharon, so happy to see that it has survived and is blooming once again. They are small blooms this year.
I got quite a thrill when a little spruce hummingbird was feeding from one of the flowers. Her beak was actually well into the centre but I was do stunned to be so close I just started moving my pink pencil where I was. Then along came a mean old hummingbird and swooped down several times to stop her/him from feeding. I expect they’ll be heading south very soon as our night time temperatures drop.
This page isn’t anything fantastic, I just wanted to record my delight!
