The article on hummingbird gardening and butterfly gardening featuring my quotes and books THE ART OF HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING and THE ART OF BUTTERFLY GARDENING will appear in Woman’s World magazine on 5/12 with a cover date of 5/23. Kristina Mastrocola is doing the article, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
I really like this image, just to show more of the environment and not crop it too close. 
It got my attention away from the Hooded Oriole for a few minutes. 
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. 
Nice books for the spring.
Another butterfly close encounter. Always a thrill.
