I am a huge animal lover and after reading World Without Us (must read) and realizing how many birds die each year (from cats, windows, wind turbines etc) and how hard life is for them in general, I wanted to get a bird feeder and help these little guys out a bit more. I had a bird nest right outside my window and it was awesome to see the little guys grow up and take flight.
Backyard Birdshop is a very cool shop - the staff is friendly and knowledgable , and they have a good, earth friendly collection of bird feed. Box store bird feeds have either lots of fillers or they have seeds that are non-native which can start growing if they fall to the ground.
Anyways, check them out in the Portland - Vancouver area:

Tiffany and David’s wedding at the Garden Vineyards was a classy vineyard wedding affair with gorgeous place settings, great flowers, wonderful food and beautiful summer weather. They had cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake, and used place cards supported by corks. Art of Catering created some wonderful dishes and appetizers. A string quartet played music for the guests. Everything went smoothly thanks to their coordinator Jeanne Lapp. Hummingbirds were in full swing - I was able to grab couple shots of them, check it out below!
