Love it! We are lucky to have a local fencing company up the road from us that puts all their tear down boards out in front of the business for people to pick up. We were able to get enough boards to do the sides of our steep slope (looks almost as steep as yours). We didn't want to spend the money to do the fence (other priorities) and no one really sees the fence but us. We did get new posts and framing for the fence, but used all recycled boards for the actual fence part. Ours is not as cool as yours (love the cut-outs), but it does the trick. Nice work! It was more work, but in the end a fence that would have cost us close to $2000 cost us $500.

Vera, lovely pictures! I know it can be frustrating to chase them around. My DH is the photographer here and we have found the best thing to do is sit and wait near a plant that you know they love to visit. Time hasn't allowed much of that this year but my butterfly attractors are blooming now so we just might make time. Good for you on getting such nice pictures. Bonny

Thanks donnas. You can get a free Photobucket account. You simply upload your pictures; I resize the picture in Photobucket so that it fits the page well (without expanding off to the right). You copy the tag, as shown in the picture below, directly into this thread. Here's another hummer shot; I took it at the same feeder at a different angle. I've had the impatiens there since May; I can't believe I've missed such colorful shots! Too bad it was at dusk; it came out kind of grainy :( At least I have a second male. He was also perched on the fence (the same spot that my regular frequents) while my regular male was at the feeder. I was surprised that one didn't chase away the other...

Nancy; Thanks.We had a good storm this afternoon and everything got watered real good.Timed just right,as i had put out some fertilizer yesterday evening,so now its watered in good. Alexa; This Grenada really does glow,it is so bright.It attracts alot of attention around here. Leslie; i have a weekness for the purples and Lavendars,too,but I don't have very many of them , yet Patricia. I have a small part of my front yard fenced,because at one time I had a little poodle,and also a goldfish pool in the front yard,and we had to put up a fence around it to keep the dog in and to keep kids out of the yard where my pool was.They would come and throw rocks hitting the fish in the head.Don't have a dog now,and the pool can't be used either.Its just a eye sore in my yard now.I made that rose bed outside the fence,since I had the inside full. Glad you injoyed the roses.They don't hold a candle to yours,yet. Jean
