Hummingbird in the garden
What a summer it has been here in Victoria. Record setting heat and beautiful blue skies. Along with the heat came a record number of forest fires. I feel like I missed the entire month of August. The fire smoke was unbelievable this year and every morning the sky turned gloomy and smoky. The smoke has now cleared I look forward to a few more weeks of summer to enjoy. Here is a hummingbird in my garden amidst the remaining blossoms of a lipstick plant.
