A Hummingbird Caught In Mid-Flight

This little guy was caught in mid flight as he
zeroed in on this beautiful copper feeder
with bright red colors to attract him.
Thanks For The Photo Bev !

Hummingbirds in flight, warm temps, flowers in bloom, must be June !

Summer a busy month for things to do:
the Out and About Sections have all been updated,
so pour some coffee or iced tea and read through all the sections and make a note of what you want to see and do in June and July !

For the digital photographers out there, here is a good story on boosting the ISO on your camera.
We use higher ISO's quite often in windy conditions with a polarizer filter attached.

Could the 140 be closed for six months or more?
Will CalTrans have to build a bridge around the slide zone ?

That is what we are hearing, but before it gets into the Sierra Sun Times we will attend the special Board of Supervisors meeting tomorrow to hear official info on what CalTrans is planning.
Look for a late entry tomorrow for an update on the slide.
Remember you will hear about this meeting here before anywhere else !
