 Hummers and the Double Rainbow, August 23, 2009 Joy-Vernon |
 If there weren't six other Hummingbird feeders hanging from our porch there would be more Hummers at this feeder. As it is, these five females are very relaxed and peaceful. August 23, 2009 Joy-Vernon |

 The Rufous Hummingbird has the longest migration of any hummingbird species with distance of more than 3,000 miles from the bird's nesting grounds in Alaska and Canada to its winter habitat in Mexico. An average hummingbird's heart rate is more than 1,200 beats per minute. Joy-Vernon |
 Just one of the bulls staring us down while the four of us encroached on the herd. We were very careful to secure the new gate, both when entering the BLM land and leaving. August 26, 2009 Joy-Vernon |
 Love this wagon....It is a reminder of the "White People's History" and invasion of our Native Americas glorious territory of the White Mountains area, dating back to the mid 1800s. Joy-Vernon |
