My hummingbird flower garden has finally paid off with two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds visiting several times every day. Very tricky to photo since they take only a few minutes to check which flowers have nectar since their last visit then they move on. I plan on extending the garden a bit for next year and with a good feeder perhaps their visits will last longer.

Hubby won a three-night trip to the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I've never seen desert conditions before. It was a great trip and a fantastic photo opportunity.
With the Hummingbirds, I started doing full-manual burst photography. I set myself up for failure: I didn't have my tripod on me, it's rather hard to hold my telescopic steady when it's at it's full length and the feeders were all in shade, so I had to crank the ISO. For all of that, I think I got a few good shots.

It usually only takes an hour or two before it is discovered.
