The nice folks at Woman’s World magazine asked for a photograph of me pouring sugar water into my hummingbird feeder, so I got out there today and did just that. They also asked for a hummingbird photo as well. The article should be very nice, by Kristina Mastrocola of Woman’s World.
They are doing an article about hummingbird gardening and butterfly gardening. I had a nice chat today with writer Kristina Mastrocola of Woman’s World and it brought back memories of working on these books. She asked some good questions about how to set up gardens for the hummingbirds and butterflies and we also talked about photography. The article will appear around May 12 and it will be widely available on newsstands. I’m looking forward to it. I was describing to Kristina the wide-brimmed hat I wear to hide me from the hummingbirds, and I decided to send her this photo to show what it’s like. That’s me at my garden in Adamant, VT.

My photograph of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird will be on display at the Festival de l’Oiseau et de la Nature, over in Le Crotoy, France, from April 9-17. It’s the Festival of Birds and Nature, for those who don’t know French. What an honor. I feel like a jazzman, appreciated on the Continent.
Wow, it’s good to have friends like James Lee Stern, who photographed me with my Tunnel View photo, just published in the 2016 Yosemite Sierra Visitors Guide. Thanks to Rhonda Salisbury of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau and Lisa Baker of the Sierra Star for their support of my photography. Yosemite is my favorite place in the whole wide world. 
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? just arrived, along with a collector’s item, a business card that Martin Luther King’s publisher gave him in 1967 to put in the books that he gave to special people. The card and the book are both in great shape.
