Lucky Shot

I'm doing a daily walk/scavenger hunt with friends. We don't live where we can walk together, we just post photos of our daily item. I was supposed to take a picture of a feather while walking yesterday. There were birds, but I was huffing and puffing to keep up on trail maintenance. I didn't pause for a photo. At home I tried to get the humming bird at the feeder, and he backed up and opened his wings as I took the picture. Just lucky!

What a great shot! Good for you. That's a good idea to do the daily walk/scavenger hunt. I'm in a group of four that do the New York Times wordle each day and we share our results.

@paigea It's a fun game. Whoever does it in the least tries gets smirking rights for the day.

Great pic.English is not my native language.I had to look for the meaning of "Scavenger hunt." Thanks for enriching my vocab.

That is really cool. I was just thinking about putting up a humming bird feeder last night. I have the feeling it might just attract bees or wasps though..or possibly even bears! I could do without all of them. My sister gave me a nice Hbird feeder once and I never used it.
