    The desert area looks a bit of sepia sand, not colorless but dry. The red flowers atop the hill overpower the scene and become the new focal point for both human and hummingbird alike. Nice vista!

    Far above white walls
    Red flowers and a white tree
    Waiting for the birds.

    SO true… any bloom is such a heaven for humming bird… and when the blossom is at the most unexpected random place it’s a blessing in itself!!! Love the whole thought!!!!

    Hummingbirds are smart flying high away from the busy cities.

    I bet the little hummers do love those beautiful flowers, but I hope they take in the amazing view too. Breathtaking!

    very scenic, with great shadows; those flowers look like canna lilies; there were a lots of them in my father’s garden when i was a child

    much love…

    Have you posted either this photo or haiku or both before? They seem incredibly familiar. Maybe that’s a false memory, but I thought I’d seen them before and liked them before. Can’t hurt to like them again 🙂

    Great shot. I love the shadows and stillness of the afternoon in desert climate. Beautiful.

    Lovely lacy leaf shadows and a wonderful pop of red that the hummingbirds would love (and so do I). — thank you for sharing and for hosting.
