Hummingbird don't fly away

There's a blast from the past, eh? Twelve or so years ago, I found these pretty glass hummingbird ornaments. I bought four of them. If I remember correctly, I gave the blue one to our friend Sue (her favorite color is blue), and the red one to our friend Cheryl (she enjoys feeding hummingbirds at her house). I kept the green and yellow ones for myself.

The green glass hummingbird on our holiday tree.

I think of Sue and Cheryl when I put the hummingbirds on the holiday tree. We don't have hummingbirds here in France, but I remember them well from when we lived in California.

  2. No kidding? No hummingbirds in France?

    Do I remember correctly that you bought a new "fake" tree last year? Looking forward to seeing it :)

  4. When Paul's Hungarian goddaughter came and lived with us for a year she was entranced by "kolibri madar", hummingbirds, at our feeder. They are new world birds, but Hungarians love them We went to a puppet theater in Budapest in 2012 which was called the Hummingbird Theater (Kolibri Bab Szinhaz.) Your ornaments are beautiful.

  5. What a beautiful ornament. We had a feeder when, as a kid, I lived in LA. Loved watching them.

  8. we have several hummingbirds here in AZ - they are intriguing but can be rather aggressive.
