All summer long we have enjoyed the company of this adorable hummingbird as it visited our garden.
Not that I should be complaining about anything...
But it either sits at the hummingbird feeder or worse, sits on the clothesline, making for some unspectacular photos. When it does drink from the flowers it flies so quickly that I barely have time to point my camera before it's gone!

Last week, I was out taking pictures of a sunflower, when the hummingbird chose to drink from a honeysuckle vine close by!
Lucky me :)
That's it, no complaints left!
Wonderful photographs ...
ReplyDeleteBirds stunning!
Thank you Lucia!
DeleteRosemary, stunning pics! I see its wings moving!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nadezda, I am very happy with my photo :)
DeleteIt must be magic to have humming birds in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThey really are magical, like imaginary fairies, you're never quite sure if you've actually seen them :)
DeleteGreat captures Rosemary! It is such a pleasure to watch Hummingbirds; how sweet it must be to have this regular visitor!! (ps...I'm envious:)
