Focus Schmocus

The hummingbirds hold still for such a short time, and I had to take these shots through the window and I was soooo excited that I neglected to focus properly.
But you can still see his little adorable self. They arrive early each morning and luckily can't see in our window so we can get a good long look at them. Of course they fly away the minute the camera is ready. This morning I had good luck and then Blogger was screwed up and I couldn't get on to blog. Grrrr.


On another note entirely, we have finished decorating the living room, and the proof

is that we hung the artwork. When we were packing, our friends remarked that we had an awful lot of art, didn't we? They only saw half of it. The framed half. The quilts doubled that amount.

And now in a smaller house we are faced with fewer walls to hang it all on. But it will rotate I am sure.
I don't think I had ever had this piece hanging in the old house for long. It fits so nicely up the staircase. And it benefits from a not too close inspection.

I figured another chair couldn't hurt. I seem to have a fondness for chairs. We also have a collection of art chairs, you might recall, and now I am trying to find spots for them too.

This little one from Mexico is sitting upon the bookcase.
Are you starting to see the Mexican Chalet style we talked about earlier? The red drapes are faux suede, close to being red velvet. Too too, eh?
