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!
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.
A female Anna's Hummer (Calypte anna) feeding on the Columbine flowers on our deck.
The shiny object is a small silver pail in the Empress tree, full of peanuts for the Jays and Squirrels.
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)
Here's another shot of our winter Hummer. A male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) perched just above a feeder in our Butterfly bush.
I can't get enough of shooting this little jewel!
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?

Last Summer in our yard. Thank you all for your visits comments and faves much appreciated, have a nice Sunday!
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
One of the locals at my Mexican Sage. They're not super cooperative. Since I made my front yard so hummer-friendly, they go wherever they please, generally "over there" if I'm "here", ad infinitum. I tried a new strategy this week. I decided to trim and clean up a couple of plants near the sage, knowing they would eventually visit a number of times. So I put the camera on a stool near where I was working, and when I saw one or heard the "hum" I could easily grab the camera. Worked pretty good. The plants are so full they really make it a challenge to get the clear path to the bird though.
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
I love to see these beautiful little birds flying around. When you hear the sounds of their wings going a million miles an hour, there is no doubt about why they are called hummingbirds! :-)

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!

Caught this little guy in Campo California, feeding on Periwinkle. Little Grainy and Motion Blurred, but they are fast and don't stick for you to adjust your camera
A large stand of Bougainvillea (the size of a 5-car garage) was peppered with buzzing hummingbirds. They zipped from stem to stem, never landing anywhere in the open.
This juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird was an exception. He perched with his tiny legs and tiny feet on this twig for long enough to take several pictures...very cooperatively :-)) He is just beginning to develop the ruby throat that should be completed by August of the year.
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.
