First migrant hummer

Today a male Rufous Hummingbird showed up at the feeders in Alpine. That's the first hummer migrant this summer. So it's beginning. Hope we get some really good ones this year, especially when the Davis Mountains Hummingbird Celebration is going on late in August.

Gotta love the lotuses.

Basically the flowers are better at CMO where I enjoy dayflowers, four o'clocks, verbena and other good stuff. Here in Alpine there are so many disgusting weeds. Like Johnson grass and goatheads. But the lotuses, which we planted in the water, are really spectacular.
