I particularly like the coloured spots on the mat

djsgal, I used to have a hummingbird feeder just like that when I lived in California.

What do you know! I do like this feeder, it's lightweight and won't shatter if it blows off the hook like the glass ones. It also doesn't have any yellow on it, which attracts bees and wasps. Wish I could find another one!


Here's my photo, which I took last Sunday. I was making a red velvet cake for my daughter's birthday, but we ran out of red food coloring. Had to suppliment with some blue, so of course the batter turned out lavender! So it was lavender velvet cake.

I was a bit worried then - thought the pot of coloured mix was the hummingbird feeder
A few years ago I visited friends in Orange County, California, and remarked on the delightful hummingbirds feeding on their garden flowers. To my amazement, they told me they'd never noticed them, and thought they were just large bees - and that's a true story!
These are three of my grandchildren, of two different families!

There were lots of butterflies in my yard today.

beautiful shot, and so clear. Pity you'd already posted the cockroach image in this week's theme, though maybe that was more imaginitive!
Welcome Peggy, and looking forward to more 'kiwi' shots from you.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can identify these flowers; some sort of sunflower perhaps? The flowers are about 3 inches (75 cm) diameter.
