Why the surprise? We have numerous types of hummingbirds here. The species are: Allen's, Anna's, Black-chinned, Calliope, Costa's, Ruby-throated, Rufous. The Rufous are the most common around here. We do see other types but they're rare. Right now they're going through nectar like crazy. I have to fill up the feeders at once a day.

Well, OK, I guess with hummingbirds, I automatically think of (sub-) tropics – which I do NOT associate with Canada.

But anyway, when I was out on our balcony just now, I saw two hares grazing on the lawn. They even came closer, despite the fact that my wife and I were talking, and were just now grazing just below our balcony (very close to the walkway light). :-D

My niece accidentally started a fire in her room. She was sleeping when it started; the smoke nearly killed her :(

Used to love watching the Hummingbird wars in the summer in the mountains of Washington. Rubys, Rufous, and some Annas.
The males are always such showoffs with their high flights to dive really fast, and they would do this 'orbit dance' through the chainlink fence which made a really cool chirping sound as they passed through the holes.
If you looked hard enough, you would find the greenish female in the lilac bush being generally unimpressed.

Just ate an omelet for dinner (the thread’s title is little details …). :eatarrow:

I need to look into better eye liner pencils. The ones I have are not as good as they once were.

I'm having difficulty finding a mascara that I like.

Face makeup is something utterly foreign to me (and to my wife, for that matter).

I enjoy "tarting" myself up, I must admit. I even put on a little makeup when I'm not going anywhere.

I've never tried mascara. Not my thing.

My eyelashes are so blonde they're invisible without mascara.

My next beard trim may be in order. It gets more disorderly with increasing face hair length, and the predicted temperatures may make the natural shawl dispensable by now.

Speaking of trims, my hair is overdue for one.

I haven't had my hair cut since just before Christmas because I'm growing out the colour, and will shave my head for Cancer on April 29th. Just in case, anybody is going "ooh" I kept my hair in a brush for years.

Haven’t trimmed my beard yet. Clipped my fingernails instead. Quicker to get done and a lot less debris to clean up. :p
