Hummingbirds nest in it and yesterday I had one fly to about a foot away from my face and then stay there tilting it's head side to side looking at me. I suppose it was to see what kind of threat I was and it gave me an amazing view of this beautiful bird. I think it dismissed me as unworthy of a dive bombing, something my dog gets frequently. The vine also attracts bees and wasps and while I prefer watching them at a greater distance than a foot I love the intricate dance they do around each other and into the flowers. Sometimes pleasure comes from unrecognized sources. Thanks for reminding me. Bonnie (since I'm signing in as anonymous)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
