Themes can be challenging. They can force you to break your usual patterns and photograph something new. To me, that’s a good thing. It’s one of the reasons I like weekly link-ups too.
For the topic “bottle,“ I wanted to do a bottle in colored glass. I decided to photograph a couple of my hummingbird feeders, which are basically glass bottles turned upside down and screwed onto a feeder tray with special ports. The bottles are made to be colorful in order to attract hummingbirds, which are instinctively drawn to bright flowers.
As soon as I started to go out to my deck, I saw a couple of hummingbirds flying around. They were darting around so quickly that I could not focus on them. I took a picture of the feeders and then sat down so I would not scare the little birds.
Your hummingbird feeders are quite wonderful. Not only are they functional and attractive they represent recycling in action. Bravo on all counts.
ReplyDeleteThe bottles look exquisite!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful feeders. Sorry the birds were against the brightly lit bushes beyond, but they did get captured anyway!
ReplyDeleteYour feeders are beautiful and must look great when the light shins on them.

I love hummingbirds , they are adorable birds. The bird feeders are attractive looks alike fancy lampshades. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeleteGreat feeders! I don't do the monthly theme, but I totally agree with you on the value of link-ups and how they can make us think outside comfort zone .
