📸”Meditating” – 30 Days of Hummingbirds – Day 6.

❓ Did you know hummingbirds have 1,000 to 1,500 feathers, the fewest number of feathers of any bird species in the world? Not only do they not need as many feathers because of their tiny size, but fewer feathers also keeps them more lightweight for easier flight.

Focal Length: 310mm
Shutter Speed 1/1000
Aperture: f5.6

“Without Rain, Nothing Blooms…..”

While not all storms are created equal they do serve a necessary purpose in our lives. They break us down, they nurture us and we grow from the process.⁠
⁠
Are you embracing your storms?

“The more time you spend with nature, the deeper your understanding of life will be.” ~Nitin Namdeo⁠


There really isn’t more I can add to this statement. How about you? Don’t you find the more time you are outside and with nature you understand aspects of your life better?⁠

Just when you think you’ve outsmarted them, they eventually find a way to reach the food. I guess he was tired of picking up the scraps from the ground!

Oh well, there’s a lot to be said for being resourceful!

Enjoy your weekend!

Red Sky in the morning……

Beautiful Atlanta Sunrise

“Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.” This photo doesn’t do the morning sky justice, but I couldn’t resist trying to capture the moment. ⁠
⁠
BTW, see that big tower in the background? That’s soon to be the new North American Headquarters for Thyssenkrupp Elevator Company. It’s over 400 feet tall and is located next to the Braves Stadium. Michael has literally watched this come out of the ground when there was nothing more than a pile of dirt. Take a close look, you’ll be seeing more of this when it’s complete. 😉⁠
⁠
Happy Thursday!⁠
