Nature Humming bird

Humming bird · 12:40 AM

I was lucky I had my camera with me when having a cup of coffee in my backyard and this little bird came up .

K20D and 55-300mm lens

Thats stunning and inspirational!

You really nailed the framing and setup.

These are great! Now, I've got the lens. I've got the camera. But what are those flowers? The hummers are obviously nuts over them. I've got to order them for the spring and put them in MY backyard. I doubt that I'll do as well as you, however.

Mike,

A friend helped me out - Those are flowers of French Aloe .

I spent all summer stalking the Hummers that come around the feeders we put out, same Camera, same lens, and never came even close to approaching the level of quality you have here.
Well done sir. Outstanding.
