Ruby Throated Hummingbirds

Ruby Throated Hummingbirds

Ruby Throated Hummingbirds have arrived, coming from as far south as southern Mexico and northern Panama. Since hummingbirds lead solitary lives and neither live nor migrate in flocks, an individual bird may spend the winter anywhere in this range where the habitat is favorable, but probably returns to the same location each winter.

Some will skirt the Gulf of Mexico and follow the Texas coast north, while most apparently cross the Gulf, typically leaving at dusk for a nonstop flight of up to 500 miles, which takes 18-22 hours depending on the weather.

Hummingbirds are carnivores, nectar is just the fuel to power their flycatching activity. Ruby-throats begin moving north as early as January, and by the end of February they are at the northern coast of Yucatan, gorging on insects and spiders to add a thick layer of fat in preparation for flying to the U.S.

The initial urge to migrate is by the shortening length of sunlight and has nothing to do with temperature or the availability of food; amazing that nature follows the Light. The sun, moon and stars, they have a purpose. Amazing how it all comes together as designed.

Abstract Autumn Colors, now I know it is December and the season of snow. But I love looking at warmer colors also, this time of year. Can you guess what this is?

Abstract Autumn Colors

This is actually the side of my car, I parked next to some trees that were covered in colorful Autumn leaves a couple of months ago. I am just getting to these photos today. I loved the soft lines and the reflection of the leaves in the side of my car.

You can see the door handle on the photo below. Water isn’t the only thing where I find fun reflections of nature.

Reflection is the Change in Direction

Reflection is the Change in Direction

Reflection is the Change in Direction of a wave front (spirit) at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of Light, 

Reflection is the Change in Direction

We sometimes take Light for granted. It turns out that, with a bit of persuasion, Light would show us things we thought we would never see.

The Light tells us this

You are from the Father, little Children, and you have conquered them. Because the One who is in You, is Greater than the one who is in the world.
