We've now got 2 regulars coming by the feeder, so I snapped off a couple of shots today. I love the way the colored glass gives interesting hues to the already-gorgeous hummingbird!

Lovely description of the Clock of the Long Now: You'll want to go visit the clock when it's built! Danny Hills (inventor), Brian Eno, Jeff Bezos, and more. Imagine the challenge of building a 10,000-year clock! #LongNow
