My Baby Hummingbirds

 

Well as you may have read on Oskar's Blog I have a humming bird feeder next to my computer desk.  This week there has been 2 or 3 baby hummingbirds visiting all day.  Finally with a great amount of stillness & stealth I was able to catch some photo's.

It's so cool to see them come all day.  You can hear the flurry of their wings as they approach.  The second picture was taken through glass while the rest were just taken through the screen. 

I wish I could mark them so I knew how many of them there are.  It's really cool, cause they come about 20 times a day!

A Bumble!

Now I know that when I say a Bumble, some of you may think of one of these. At least if you were lucky enough to grow up in the 70's!

But my Camera Critter is the other kind of bumble.



They're always hovering around my brown-eyed Susans. Poor Oskar even tried to eat one! I don't have any pictures of that because I was busy wrestling the bee out of his mouth!

Meet Inchie!

I found this fun little guy on my sunflowers the other day & thought he would make a perfect Camera Critter.

I call him Inchie, becaue I assume he's an inch worm.

This is Amani the baby aardvark. He was born 12/23 at the Detroit Zoo.

This is his press release photo, not one I took, but I figured how many times do you get to see a pic of a baby aardvark?

This is the story of Oskar. Say hello, Oskar.

Well Oskar seems to be sleeping lying-in-wait, but he says hello.

I've gotten some questions on why his name is spelled the way it is instead of Oscar. The answer is that my husband is 100% German & schnauzers are German dogs. My mother in law says Oskar is the authentic German spelling of the name.

When we met Oskar he was 2 days old.

8 weeks later we brought him home. To little Oskar the world was a very big place.

Oskar worked hard protecting Jack, his youngest boy.

God makes baby schnauzers very cute, so that their people don't kill give up on them, because baby schnauzers, or at least baby Oskars, are very naughty. See how cute?

Chloe! Get that look off of your face, this is a story about Oskar. Maybe you can be next week.

As you can see, Oskar grew to be a good camper,

sun bather,

and occasional hat model!

Oskars do not care for thunderstorms. Hey, even Superman had his kryptonite!

Oskar adapts easily to many situations. Notice how he transitions easily from everday napping...

to holiday napping, without even breaking a sweat?

Since we live in Michigan it can be very snowy.

Oskar works very hard to help clear the driveway, by bringing as much snow possible into the house.

As you can see, miniature schnauzers are very helpful pets. Say goodbye, Oskar.

Jack found this praying mantis on his walking stick this summer. I'd never seen one this close up before. I'm sorry to say that in my opinion, his creepy factor outweighed his coolness!

I found this Camera Critters meme and knew I had to post the pics I took yesterday.

Oskar while he was outside helping Chris shovel the 8 inches of snow we got.

Chloe trying to keep warm between my robe & the couch. Directly behind her is a heating vent.

Moe is exhausted just thinking about all of that shoveling. She sleeps for about 20 hours a day on this Christmas quilt from my mom.

Chris & all of the varmints after a hard day. Moe is kind of hard to see, but she's the glowing eyes in front of the Christmas tree. She's obviously miffed that Chris had taken her quilt.
