Canada has about 5 or 6 native species of blackberry although more people these days are familiar with the invading Himalayan blackberry with its fearsome thorns that tear flesh in big chunks.

That is a striking hummingbird photo. They do eat small insects so it is likely probing the Russion olive fruit to see if there are any larvae or adult insects inside, or perhaps a small spider.

I am very familiar with the thorny beast! That being said, can you recommend a BB that you could grow in PG? I'm in Williams Lake. Photos most welcome!

Cheers,
Loyd

Thanks, you're the second person to let me know that it might have been searching for bugs. I had no idea hummingbirds eat bugs!

Thanks Loyd, that was shot handheld, K-3III's SR is pretty good.

Nothing too outstanding, but with rain and 20-40 it is hard to get anything. Mini-hood looks cool, but works less then stellar in such cases

With HD DA 20-40mm Limited

Great. Did you use focus tracking or pre-focus?

I don't know what's the f-number of that lens being mounted, 50mm f/0.1 ? Must be sucking light like a space telescope.
