After having seen a hummingbird at the Powdery Alligator-flag two years ago I always give it a once-over when I pass by a patch.

A thunder storm was closing in on us and the light wasn’t great but it didn’t stop this Carolina Chickadee from gathering some snacks.

The light changed again, giving me hope that the storm was going away.

The extra light was brief and it started raining a short time later.

Lovely shots, Ellen
Thank you, Greta!
