A Hummingbird Encounter

Yesterday, I was half napping in the sky chair and I heard a humming sound very close by. I opened my eyes to see a female hummingbird checking out the flowers on my skirt, actually touching the fabric to see if there might be something worth eating. I sat stone still and all of a sudden she flew about 3 inches directly in front of my nose for a couple of seconds. When she moved in even closer, I flinched and she took off instantly! It was such a neat experience. I went in the house and filled up a feeder for her. :)
