A Burst of Color on a Dreary Winter’s Day
We’ve had a rather dull start to 2025, from the point of view of the weather: drizzly when not pouring rain, cold but not enough to snow. It makes me long for spring but we’ve quite a ways to go!
In the meantime, I wandered outside to see if I might discover something of interest in the garden.
I found raindrops hanging from the end of barren branches,
And a blur of berries.
I found a spider hanging in his web,
And Benji guarding the shed.
And I found a burst of color in my Anna’s Hummingbirds, looking quite dapper in purple
or is it hot pink?

That hummingbird is an incredible colour! Purple shot with magenta, I’d say.
Thanks! He’s a beauty for sure!
That purple is stunning! And definitely more purple than hot pink I reckon 💜
Thanks, Sarah. Every turn of his head seemed to show off a different shade on the purple spectrum!
They are pretty.
Truly! 😊
Always a joy to see the hummingbirds, Susanne.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete! It’s always a joy for me, too!
Beautiful, Susanne!
Thanks so much, Terri!
Pretty (and colorful!) sights.
Thank you. 😊
