Went to a concert on our lake on Saturday and a gal brought two of her pet birds, an Umbrella Cockatoo and this male Ruby which is a Green Wing and Scarlet Macaw hybrid. Jodi-

Kathleen, I posted several of my hummer pics on a bird ID site after another person posted a hummer and I discovered Rufous do not breed in So Calif. I have photos of one feeding a fledgling. The female Allen's I'm told though do look a lot like female Rufous. Often very difficult to ID.

Thanks for the kind comments. I got lucky with the flag. I was driving past a car dealership and saw the interesting design created by the way the wind had wrapped their large flag around the pole. After dropping off my passenger, I drove back just to take a photo of it. Luckily the wind didn't change the design during the interim! It is fun seeing all of the photos members put up--usually stop by one last time before computer shut-down to see any late posts. Bubbles and interesting perspectives--such creative minds and talent! Nicole, that photo is unreal it is so beautiful; wish I had a 2'x3' of it to decorate my wall because I can't stop staring at it. Flowers, animals, and reminders of places I've visited, and locations I have never been. And I swear, lgmd_gaz has to have cornered the world market for unique picture puzzles. I'm always looking forward to what KT members have to show me every day. :)

Jasdip - that looks yummy! Is that Pavlova? One of my favorite desserts, and I enjoy a couple of dollops of whipped cream on top of the fruit. Glenda - DH and I went on an Alaska cruise once and just loved it. Really enjoyed that we could just leave the ship once in port and explore the town, no tour guide required unless for a specific attraction.
