Hannah's putting the move on the girl in blue.

The Park City hummingbirds

Julie saw a hummingbird go cruising by the other day and suggested we get a hummingbird feeder. I spent $5 on a plastic one, hung it one night, and they were visiting the next day. Quick learners. What makes it more fun is that they don't mind you sitting out on the deck with them, as long as you stay fairly still. Makes for some cool pictures. God they are fast though!!!

This is the boss man and local bully. He took over the feeder on the second day and doesn't like others using it. While some of the photos make them look bigger, you can judge his size from the little Christmas light he is sitting on.

My favorite, taken at very high speed. It is very hard to slow their wings down.

Checking me out before drinking

Quite the hover

It must be nice to get to sit

Still at it as the sun sets

A visit from New York

We have skied with the Nickels family for the past 15 years or so. Mark and his son Cameron came out to Park City for a visit and brought Cam's friend Carson. They were only here for a long weekend but managed to squeeze in a lot of different activities.

We capped the weekend off with a nice dinner at the Kahn's, but I forgot to bring along my camera for that.

From left to right, Carson, Mark, and Cameron. This was the first day of mountain biking. We were at the top of Bald Mountain in Deer Valley. Behind the guys is the Jordanelle Reservoir.
