Too much snow!!! I've already developed cabin fever - and now Spring fever is beginning to show in the things I find myself enthralled in. I'm looking thru seed catalogs and already nurturing plants in the greenhouse till outside planting season begins. But the draw of the hummingbirds return in April has me guessing and anticipating the date these little creatures once again will alight on my salmon angel salvia flowers. I plant the red and salmon colored flowers each Spring especially for the Hummingbirds and Goldfinches. They look like little angels atop tall stems and the birds just cover the plants, particularly in the late Summer and Fall season. In anticipation of these little beings, I spent some time today just doing a little sketch of my favorite bird.
Love the sketches-I like to use flowers to attract them too.You don't have to refill the flowers the way you do store nectar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely painting! What medium did you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry and Teresa. Larry I still use feeders but I've found one of the best little flowers for attracting these little hummers is a very delicate flower called the angel salvia. I'll post some of these little wonders one day soon. And Teresa, this is a little watercolor painting, about 5 x 7.
ReplyDeleteBello y sensible tu trabajo.
