As you can see from this photo, my view of the aloe vera plant pictured above is from the opposite side, but it gives me an excellent view of the hummingbirds who come to sip from its blossoms! Although it appears to be invisible here, I have an excellent view of the bloom.

Hummingbirds love these blooms, as do I. There is a huge aloe just outside the window where my desk is located and I love watching new ones open each day and the visits of various hummers to sample them. Do you have a favorite? I culled out about half of the shots I took but couldn’t cull farther. Nor could I pick a star of the show.

Aloe Bloom with Diner

i took dozens of blurry photos before this tiny hummingbird decided to just sit down to dine.  This aloe vera on the patio outside the room where my desk is has afforded me so many wonderful views of hummingbirds. Better than having an inside bouquet any day.
