Welcome to Saturday Sparks 525!
Starting off today's party with a lucky capture!
I was trying to take a photo of my lovely hanging basket to share with you all, but mother nature had a better idea.
As if on cue, this sweet humming bird photo bombed the shot.
I love a good surprise and this one was a beauty!

Happy Saturday, Suzanne. I love your hummingbird shot. I just linked a hummingbird that is almost camouflaged in my hanging basket. Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! I heard the the hummingbird before I saw it. There is no mistaking the hum of their wings. How fun to know we both shared a similar surprise guest. Have a wonderful week ~ Suzanne.

ReplyDeleteThank-you, Claire. The hummingbird's surprise visit was certainly welcome! 😊 Wishing you a wonderful week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteSuzanne, I LOVED the hummingbird picture! I don't have a feeder up this year, but they seem to love the blue plumbago flowers growing in the urns on the porch. Thanks so much for featuring our trip to Kings Canyon. Such a stunning national park with so much to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbee. The hummingbird's are always fun to see. Kings Canyon looks like a great place to visit. All my best ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWhat a great shot of the hummer, my favorite feathered friend. Happy Sunday, Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rita! I heard him hum past my head just as I was taking a shot. I love how they hover mid air. Have a great week ~ Suzanne.

DeleteSo kind of you to feature my Summer Citrus Tablescape Suzanne! I really appreciate it and your efforts in hosting this party each week! ~ Lori
ReplyDeleteLoved your tablescape, Lori! Perfect summer vibes! Sending you much sunshine ~ Suzanne.
DeleteOh how wonderful to catch a photo of a hummingbird! I was watching one hovering about my delphiniums the other day (which is a rarity in our yard) and sadly my phone was charging inside the house so I missed the photo opportunity. It was a long weekend here in Canada so I'm very late to the party this week. I hope your week is off to a good start, Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun surprise, Marie (I'm assuming this is Marie, as you came up as 'Anonymous')! My husband tells me that 'late is my middle name', but I choose to go with the 'better late than never' scenario. 😊 Happy Summer ~ Suzanne.
