The Firebush Queen


For their wee size, Hummingbirds are little powerhouses.  They fiercely protect their food sources. One day, this female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird decided she wanted all of the firebushes for herself and she was willing to fight any and all the others for control of the beloved plants.

STOP!  Come any closer and you're in BIG TROUBLE!

Now you've done it!  I'm going to get you for that!
~
Anyone else wanna try me?
~
Looks like I have a volunteer!
~
Stay away from my flowers, they're MINE, all MINE today!!!
~
I'll lay low here and see what happens next.
~
They can't see me now.  I'll surprise them with a sneak attack when they get too close!
~
 BOO!!!  Thought you got rid of me huh?!!!
~
I see you!!!

The Firebush Queen!!!

Happy September to Everyone!
It's hard to believe that September is already here, we're in the 9th month of this year,
and Autumn is closing in.  Of course, I love Autumn, so I am looking forward to it :)

Have a great day, Peeps!!!
