The sunglow off the red dye infused humming bird feeder cast an otherworldly color.......
keep that 4 to 1 ratio for feeding !
Also do not forget to hit "L" for this one to view it LARGE

This little new series on my hummers gives me an opportunity to repost my favorite.
And no I don't use the red dye stuff anymore !!

umm, maybe better cut down on the FC&D#40 dye............
Thanks David Kracht, flickr and new owners SmugMug -- might as well give these new guys a chance.
probably last of hummer images for a while, as of Winter solstice they finally have left town around here ( it seems ).
Updated --- I repented and no longer use this "oh-so fun" dye in my food.....

Each feeding area is developing it's own "king hummer" -- they can get pretty darn aggessive and combative--great fun to watch all day.
