This series is of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that took up residence in and around my back yard and garden this past Summer.
I found it amazing how perceptive these little creatures are. They would fly rite up in front of me and hover when I would enter their space . I think to say please leave my space, or hover and feed within a few feet of were I sat or stood, but point a camera in their direction and poof they were gone. Still I have managed to get a few pics of them . here are a few of my favorites.
I decided to try my hand at Hummingbirds for the first time this season and got this shot ten minutes into it. Sometimes I just get lucky. I'm looking forward to taking many more Hummingbird shots this summer.
Another trip back to Aug 2015 and Ruby Throated Hummingbirds in my garden. Late Aug and early Sept this year seemed to be the best time to capture them. This series is from one or two days in late Aug.
Checking me out. At one point, she was hovering within a foot of my face, way too close for this lens, so I just stopped and enjoyed the moment.
