About Me
- Genie
- Brackettville, Tx, United States
- I take photos, I attempt to get better at it. I cook, and I attempt to get better at that. I have a blog for each of these endeavors. I have Chronic Lyme Disease and can no longer work. I was a massage therapist for almost 20 years. I miss my work and my clients very much. Thankfully, both cooking and photography can be done as I feel like doing it and neither requires more effort than I have to give it on any given day. My husband and I have just begun a grass farming operation on his mother’s land just outside of Brackettville, Texas. A fair portion of my photography is less about art and more about documenting the evolution of our herd and the succession of the property. We’re both excited and scared about this new business. We hope to be organically certified one day, in the meantime, we’re as close to organic as we can get. Our goal is to produce: a delicious and nutritious daily salad bar for our animals; happy cows; happy chickens; and lean, healthy, chemical-free meat for humans.

You always take such AMAZING pictures!!! I loved ALL of these!! I have two feeders too, but I've not seen babies!! How lucky!
As always, very impressive.
I had opened the page at work and watched the slide show then became distracted with other things. People were walking by and commenting on the pictures. Stopping, watching, commenting on it. Calling others over to view it. They asked me if I took them. I felt like putting up a small sign that read "Taken by a friend at her place in Texas". Instead I just kept repeating the above.
So, now, half a company has seen your work and is highly impressed with it!
Genie if you took these pictures I most definitely bow to your talent.
Simply AMAZING !!
Never saw a nest before...now I know what to look for. Looks amost like a bee hive not twigs like other birds.
Wonderful slide show.
Hugs,
Patsi
Genie, I can see you've been busy!!! What a great looking slide show - how in the world did you do that? I love it. And those pics - fantastic! Love the quarter in the nest. Lucky you to be able to witness them. Such sweet little buggers.
Great photos and a nice slide show.
Well done,
Troy
Thanks everybody!!!
I got lucky, I walked into the backyard and saw the nest just a foot or so above my head. Taking the photos was a snap.
I check the nest daily now hoping to find a fresh batch of eggs in it, hummers will apparently reuse a nest. Fingers crossed!
Wow, great shots genie, nice to see your images again.
How adorable! Great pictures!
