This one is for BajaBlue and all the other shut-ins, who are members of DG. While there are many top hummer plants that could be covered, this will probably be my final post. I have met some wonderful people on this forum, but I really believe the intensity of my focus sometimes tends to bore people. Hummingbirds and their special attractant plants are one of my greatest loves. I am driven to learn more, in vivo.

I will take a week or so off to get some shots at Rockport, Texas and then head to Madera Canyon area in Southern Az. for another two weeks of hiking, camping and exploring. Hummingbirds will be on their final return migration, plus I feel the call of the canyon sirens. There is nothing to compare to the profound silence of the canyons. Only rarely do you hear the call of a Raven or other bird, nor do you hear the stridulations of insects. There are no ticks or chiggers here. Only the wind sings as it cuts through scrub brush or around rock monoliths. Then you sight the explosions of color from desert wildflowers that bloom nowhere else on the planet. The sudden appearance of one or two hummingbirds hovering above the flowers will occasionally startle you. In the ambiance of silence, you feel totally insignificant and quenched. The silence can permeate your very soul and you recognize the call to be the voice of the Lord. When you break the spell and leave the canyons, you can feel the irresistible power of those sirens calling you to come back to refresh your spirits.
