Children of Syria

Children posing for me near ancient fortress in Palmyra, Syria. Where are they now?

Day of the Hummingbirds

Silhouetted against a bright sky
I went out on the patio early this morning to see if September had brought us any cooler mornings. Unfortunately it was about 80 degrees and humid. Disappointed, I went back inside. Later I went out and discovered there was a lot of hummingbird activity for the first time this summer. I grabbed my camera and tried to get a few shots.

This one was far enough from the house that it was sun lit
