I Finally got the camera settings where I could capture the hummingbirds when they come to the porch to feed.
Not the best shot in the world, but I got it...!
We have some hummingbirds that have set up residence in our woods.
I've been trying to get pictures of them but having a tough time of it.
This female felt sorry for me and decided to perch on the post above the feeder so I could finally get a decent shot.
Trouble is the sky was too bright and I had a difficult time getting her details to show.
I over exposed the sky and then tried to bring it back down in light room. The vignettes helped a little I think.
Anyway not my best work for sure, but this is my very first hummingbird shot that turned out. Yah!
Who doesn’t love
roses, and who
doesn’t love the lilies
of the black ponds
floating like flocks
of tiny swans,
and of course, the flaming
trumpet vine
where the hummingbird comes
like a small green angel, to soak
his dark tongue
in happiness -
and who doesn’t want
to live with the brisk
motor of his heart
singing
like a Schubert
and his eyes
working and working like those days of rapture,
by Van Gogh in Arles?
Look! for most of the world
is waiting
or remembering -
most of the world is time
when we’re not here,
not born yet, or died -
a slow fire
under the earth with all
our dumb wild blind cousins
who also
can’t even remember anymore
their own happiness -
Look! and then we will be
like the pale cool
stones, that last almost
forever.
Some non-flash shooting in the backyard. All four species seen in Albuquerque are now present as the northern nesting birds are migrating through.
