You really captured him perfectly! At the San Diego Zoo they have (or had)? a big area where you can walk in among hummingbirds. (it's an enclosed area) They have many different species...
Awwwww, shucks, thank you," says Zoey, as she blushingly accepts the compliments.
LOL. Don't let my false modesty fool you-- I am quite ecstatic that I finally got some decent hummer shots. I've been trying for 3 years. It's not easy to get a shot that is not blurred. When it finally happens, I also get hummer moth shots in the same photo shoot! I am so giddy I can barely control myself! It's all I can do to keep from boring you to death by posting them all!
So I do hope you like seeing them and I sincerely thank you all for your nice comments.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Thanks, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteSue, I was so close to this one, she almost brushed my cheek with her wings. It made me jump back and, of course, blur the shot.
WOW, WOW, WOW , the pace of those wings .
