You Hum It…
I've been coming to San Francisco on and off since 1993, and in all that time I didn't even know there were hummingbirds in Northern California, let alone seen any. Then Bam! The Mrs arrives and suddenly they're everywhere. There's even one that frequents my downstairs neighbour's terrace.
Now it's the case that I've never actually seen a hummingbird in the flesh anywhere before this, so I wasn't wholly prepared for the slightly freaky sense that, because they're so incredibly still, they must actually be standing on something that you just can't see....
