The Big Picture at Boston.com has some fabulous photos of the final service call by the Shuttle Atlantis to the Hubble Space Telescope. Bad weather has postponed the shuttle landing until Saturday.

Good Hair Day
So Orion’s beard is a bit mussed: remember what he looked like yesterday! The groomer reports that he was pretty good for his first haircut, and they even invited him back. The area that would have formed his “skirt” in a traditional schnauzer cut was too matted, so he is clipped short in two different lengths, with his legs and lower sides slightly longer than his back. Next time, she will try to clip the legs even longer. I like being able to see his eyes, for a change.

Stalking
I felt like I was stalking the hummingbirds last night as I waited by the feeder to take this shot. So far this spring, I have only seen Broad-tailed Hummingbirds and not the smaller, even more aggressive, Rufous Hummingbirds.

Still Life, With Hummingbirds
The hummingbirds were feeding behind me as I took this photo. They are going full bore from dusk to dawn, and emptying one feeder a day. Last night I counted seven at one feeder at one time. I don’t believe I have ever seen that many at the same feeder before. I really like these new feeders since they can be completely dismantled for cleaning. The only thing I don’t like about them is that it can be hard to tell when one is empty.
