I came home and let the Poly go and checked the air pressure on my tires. While Dad and I were sitting there we were visited by one of the hummingbirds. I park my car next to the porterweed and apparently I was too close to his favorite nectar source. This hummingbird appears to be a dark green when the sun shines on the feathers and has a whitish patch on the breast. It was so weird how it looked right at me. I also find it odd that they always fly in from the same direction and fly off in a different direction. I guess they have some kind of regular route.

Of course, I didn't get a picture of the hummingbird. But while I was out there I saw lots of butterflies. These duskywings have been regular visitors to butterfly plants outside Mom's window.
