The view from inside...

From inside my kitchen, I view the sides and backs of the flowers in my window box as I watch for the hummingbirds.  At different times in the day, in different light, the same flower can create a completely different feel...

The only bird that can fly backwards...

My camera now sits on my kitchen counter waiting for the hummingbirds to arrive (which they do frequently)...

The View from Inside

The drive to Crested Butte from inside the car...

 Cody trying his hardest to catch the view from the window

Dillon was very excited to be along for the ride

Cody finally relaxing as a back seat passenger

The dogs FINALLY calmed down with Cody resting on Dillon's tush

Hummingbird

Unlike in Dayton, where its difficult to lure and spot hummingbirds, they are abound here in Aspen.  This one managed to stay still for a moment on my morning walk long enough to capture its photo with my phone...
