I have to confess that I was both surprised and quietly chuffed when I uploaded this and saw that I’d caught this little fellow fairly cleanly. He appeared from nowhere into that exact position, obligingly stopped for a fraction of a second as the sunlight hit him, and then was gone.
I had been patiently plotting up that little bit of lavender hoping a bee might come and land somewhere on it and was just about to give up because holding the 20x magnifier in place on the back of the LCD with pressure from my eye for any length of time can become uncomfortable, so I was about to quit when there was a glint in the sunlight. I didn’t even think about it before I knew it I had moved the camera and hit the button - one shot and gone - . I hoped the focus point had found him. I checked and saw that Ihad indeed caught him but I can never tell whether something is in proper focus even with that powerful magnifier - I can tell if it is blurred, but often they look sharp but when I upload to the big screen, they are anything but.
This time it was! :^))
I was shooting the Hooded Orioles in the yard from inside. I noticed an Anna's on a flower right in front of me. I didn't have the right settings for this but I was so happy to see they love these flowers! Can't wait for more opportunities...especially when the plants get bigger!
Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird doing it's thing on a Black & Blue Salvia in my backyard. Just wish a male would go on there like some people I know!
This guy has hardly left this perch all summer. He sits here for hours on end, flies a few inches to the feeder and back to his perch. He chases away the other hummers that come to the feeder. I'm entertained for hours on end. It's the simply things in life.
I was pleased with the capture of the bird itself - would have loved the flower in focus but was not quite in focal plane.
Shot at 1/1000 of a second it allows for some blur on wings - at 1/1600th would freeze completely.
(I believe this is a Female Ruby Throated)
To my dearest brother James
28 years, the lines are blurred, my memory faded yet still the pain goes on.

People don't sing about days that didn't happen and...
People don't cry for tears that weren't shed
Time doesn't stop when you close your eyes, and our...
Big ol' clock will keep on ticking till it dies
Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird?
Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured?
Can you cry for your mother and your father too?
Can you breathe until there's no air left in you?
What if there were no wings on a butterfly? And...
What if we walked a thousand days?
How long would it take if we all held hands? And...
How many miles could we go before our heads lay down?
Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird?
Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured?
Can you cry for your mother and your father too?
Can you breathe until there's no air left in you?
No one's going home tonight without a heartache and a moon light
Keep on moving on until there's nothing else to move on to and we're gone
Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird?
Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured?
Can you cry for your mother and your father too?
Can you breathe until there's no air left in you?

Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and constituting the biological family Trochilidae. They are the smallest of birds, most species measuring 7.5–13 cm in length. The smallest extant hummingbird species is the 5 cm bee hummingbird, which weighs less than 2.0 g. Wikipedia
Hum in Istria Croatia, claims to be the smallest town in the world.
while I suspect that there are many towns of comparable size, there is no doubting its beauty.
Created using my Topaz Impression and Topaz Texture Effects presets.
Thank you for any comments
Was happy to get some photos of this Hummingbird with it's eyes closed.. If only for a split second..

Hello Everyone!
This was taken with my 100mm macro lens because I was shooting flowers. Suddenly this hummer showed up, so I then spent the next few moments in hot pursuit!
Thanks a million for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a wonderful day and weekend!

Nothing special about this hummer, just one of several who tries to commandeer all 3 feeders in my back yard. But it is kinda cool how you can see its eye through the wing.

Not the best focus, but with hummingbirds, I'm just happy if you can see their wings! I loved all the colors in this shot.
My son Roman found this Humming-bird Moth today, in the memorial garden that we planted for my parents. I've never seen one of these in person before, so I got pretty excited. Photographed in Maryland.
A single image, shot hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash set to 1/16th power.
What can I say? There's just something about hummingbirds. I made a little hummingbird movie of a hummer I call Twitchy...check it out if you have a couple of minutes to spare. It isn't perfect, but I'm just figuring things out on the new camera. Enjoy your weekend!
Lots more hummingbird photos here.
