Anna's Hummingbird (male)
our garden is somewhat of a nectar smorgasbord for hummingbirds. they like to eat, flit around and then perch on the comfy tomato cage at coffee time. anyways, I found a twig of the same thickness with some nice lichen on it, and staged it close by. like just two seconds later, the alpha male, who had been checking me out earlier while I was pulling weeds, lands right between the wickets, wanting to play. He lets me come right up to him... 400mm at 7 feet brought him full frame, and I dialed the aperture in at f/20 for depth of field. It was overcast, but noonish, with a light that was bright and totally to die for. When everybody was all comfortable, I said 123 alakazamm stick out your tongue and pushed the button ;0
