A sweet nest & one of my own poems

This is my first Outdoor Wednesday.  I'm glad to participate in this weekly event hosted by A Southern Daydreamer.

CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I WILL BE HAVING MY FIRST GIVEAWAY SOON!

  I had to share these pictures.  I've got some hanging baskets that I left out all winter.  Two days ago my son took this photo.  

 Yesterday I took these photos:

Now how sweet are these tiny creatures?

A Poem For Your Thoughts (by me!)

Hummingbird

Such a delicate little hummingbird

I saw fluttering to and fro'

Level eye, she flew right by

Then dove for the flowers below

I could only watch in muse

Remaining myself ever so discreet

As she partook of nectar

That lay in growth nearest my feet

I knew that I should dare not move

Lest she would surely fly away

How amazed I was by this dainty creature...

And hoped that she at length would stay

Ere she sipped from bloom to bloom-

All the while, so utterly unaware

That I did stand in pure delight

As before me, she hovered mid-air

Once again she dove below

And took her final fill

Then began she did to ascend away

As I just stood there still

She grew smaller and smaller

Quickly flown from my eyes reach

I shouted out with glee to her

"Please come again and sip near me"
