Round 2 of Hummingbirds building their nests @ Stanford Cactus Garden Feb 10, 2018
Today, Feb 10, 2018, I went to the Stanford Cactus Garden around 9am, and the Hummingbirds were still at it, working to gather materials for their nests. I saw one gathering moss from the ground, another getting it from the large cacti, and another just getting nectar from the aloe plants. Also a few other birds along in the garden too. The photo below and a few others came from the closest I've been able to get to these hummingbirds, perhaps it felt comfortable enough to sit on the thorns and gather it's materials- only about arms length away from me. These hummingbirds are maybe only a few inches big.
SF Golden Gate Park & Botanical Garden 01/26/18
I'm a big fan of the icelandic poppies this time of year that are always planted in front of the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. I love the play of light as it shines through their thin petals. There's also some nice magnolias, a trumpet looking bloom and a passion flower on a banana leaf that I felt looked like a tropical painting!
