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 .
ReplyDeletei've so enjoyed your humming bird pictures . (and your garden ..its lik peeking over someones back fence )
