This weekend we made a trip to Portland, Oregon with Jeanette's mother and her brother, Alan, for a wedding of one of her cousins. We stayed with them a couple years ago after the infamous Ride to Remember bike ride from Boise to Portland. Anyhow, the wedding was at an old poor farm that has been transformed into a huge lodge-restaurants-pubs. It is called McMennamin's Edgefield and was just crawling with people. It was built in 1911 and provided room and board for about 600 indigent people while they worked the farm. This was what they did before welfare.
While we were there we were facinated by some hummingbirds. They must have made their home in a thicket next to one of the buildings. We stood transfixed watching them. They flew right next to us and I was able take a picture of one as it hovered right in front of my face. Okay, who can tell what type of hummingbird this is?
