I was at my moms and seen the most beautiful hummingbird.
It was getting dark but decided I would try and get a picture of the hummingbird. This isn't the hummer I was trying for but I had my flash on and this is what the picture turned out like.
I couldn't believe nothing showed up from the background.
Enjoy

aren't they fun to watch!?

How cool is that? Isn't it fun when a picture turns out so unexpectedly like that. Great shots of the hummer. I too love watching them.

Yeah I don't get many hummers where I live. My mom has 3 feeders that she has fill every other day. Last year we were sitting out where they are and 1 landed on my head. Sat there for quite awhile. I love them. They are so cute. I could sit there all day and watch them. :thumbup:

Kim these are super cool pics. Love those hummers. I have been watching the Sportman's Paradise site where there is a hummer called 'Phoebe', she makes a nest, lays eggs, they hatch and then fledge. There is one little one in the next now called 'Scout'. I have watched her build 5 nests and it is amazing the things you learn about hummers. They use spider webs to keep their nests(golf ball size)together. Their eggs are the size of a jelly bean/tic-tac.

it he turned around looking at you in the last pic? it looks like it. beautiful photos!!

Great photos, you should send them in to "Birds and Blooms" magazine.

what is the website name you watch? I'd love to see that!

beautiful action photos. Those little guys very hard to photo

Oh I'm going to have to look up the Sportsman site and watch. They are amazing little creatures.
I thought about asking Birds and Bloom if they would want a picture. I think I'll do that later. I'm going to frame the first picture. 1 for me and 1 for my mom.
Glad you all like the pictures. :thumbup:
