Sunshine in a Bottle?

I'm working late today so had time to wander through the backyard before leaving.  The sun is out and things are drying up nicely.  Some of the leaves on my shrubs are showing signs that they are not fond of the amount of water they are getting.

A couple of funny things happened while I was out there.  I had a red t-shirt on this morning.  A hummingbird came straight for me as I stood still while trying to decide where to direct excess water from the rain barrels.  I guess it assumed that I was a flower.  It was kind of  nerve-wracking to see that pointy little beak coming straight at me.

I survived the hummer near-miss and grabbed a coffee.  As I sat on the deck, a robin flew into the yard.  It landed on some garden decor that teeters in the wind.  The robin was perched on top of a metal owl that sits on one end of a bar.  Its weight forced that side of the bar down.  As the robin opened its wings, the bar went back up.  It closed its wings and the bar went back down.  This went on for about 20 seconds before the robin took off again.  It looked like it was quite enjoying the see-saw ride.

There was no traffic noise this morning.  The birds were singing and the sun was shining.  It was the perfect morning to be outside.  Too bad I couldn't bottle the moment and open it later this afternoon when I'm at work.
