Cat: Click "EDIT", then go to the "Advanced" screen.
At the top you'll see an icon that looks like a paper clip
(that's your attachments). Click on that and at the bottom
it'll show you all the pics you have in the post. Hover your
cursor over the top right corner of the one you want to remove,
and click the "x". It'll delete it.

Nice shots! They look as if you've done some post-processing
to them...what program are you using?

Great pictures. What kind of camera do you have? Surely you used something better than your cell phone. I'll say it again, love those pictures, I know how hard it is to get pictures
of those little buggers.

I love your pictures. I would rather look at them than any gold from anywhere...

The hummers are going through a lot of feed from my feeders this year already. I hang feeders in the front and back of the house to cut down on their "fighting". Seems like they spend more time chasing each other than eating.

Thank you DizzyDigger for "trying" to help, but guess I'm sort of dumb. :laughing7: I tried to do what you said two times but couldn't see the "paperclip" thing. And when I went to "manage attachments" there wasn't anything that said delete, only add. Oh well....guess next time I'll just be extra careful to not mess up. Thanks again for making the effort!:thumbsup:

Oh....what program? Just the thing that comes with my email thingy what ever that is? See, dumb. :I

BosnMate....got a Cannon...no cell...really...landline! lol

Austin....awwh...you're to nice. :)

Gold Maven....yes, soon will be there & thanks!

Well, thank you Jim in Idaho, very nice of you!

packerbacker....so nice of you to do that, we don't put feed out, the neighbors do & they have "wars" over there, so know what you mean. So the hummingbirds come to our place to nest.

Sorry I missed your thread, those hummingbirds sure are pretty. I bet you will have some juicy peaches later on?

Hi old digger...wish we did get peaches, it's just a small bush/tree and we usually get a freeze. So far we've only had a few small hard "almost peaches"...pretty sad. :(

Very nice pics. We always get excited to hear one for the first time each year. My gf is originally from England and is just fascinated with hummers. Before her Mom passed away, she would describe them to her, and you could hear her love for them in her voice. Thanks for those beauties.

Love the one with the blue. We don't get that kind up here. Mostly the rubies. The Flicker's stay here all winter, and munch on suit cakes.

I have flowers coming up thru snow that's left behind and birds are building nests. I'll get my humming bird feeder ready. We would have birds land on our boat 100 miles offshore. Last year I saw a osprey 5 + miles offshore with a fish in his mouth heading home. Love nature.
