You are amazing! What a beauty.
Greenheron, thank you! You make me feel amazing, that's for sure! It takes a lot of practice to get a shot like this, so I'm glad it's appreciated.
Incredible! my favorite, they are gone now, for me here in Pa. Last summer I called the Summer of Hummingbirds, as so many gathered as I pondered in awe. Thanks for this.
M.C., thank you. They are indeed a sort of magic. I love the way the irridescent feathers shimmer.
Rita, thank you very much. It's a nice thing to look at in the cold of winter. Hard to believe all that color and life goes on when it's gray and cold. I'm looking at that same planter as I write and it's got holiday greens in it! It will be April before the hummers come back to Maine.
A most beautiful photo of a most beautiful creature.
Scarlet and Pam, thanks to you both. In the summer, I have as many as 10 at a time at the nectar feeders. I miss them in the winter, that's for sure.
Whatever you do, don't wear red flower eyeglasses when your around hummingbirds.

They'll suck the juice right out of your eyes!

Spumey, VERY funny! Yikes. And I had such plans for just such an outfit next summer. Thanks for the view and rate.
I try to get a good look at the occassional little blurs that whirl into my line of vision. Never do; they're gone before I can focus. Now I know. They truly are lovely and I bow to your gift of being able to capture their image.
Chrissie, thank you. I'm not sure anything I do warrants that kind of reverence, though. Get up, girl! get up!
I cannot believe I missed this. Shame on me!

Gorgeous photo; magnificent talent.

Excellent pic. I am truly amazed and grateful for sharing this with us. Thanks. Rated with a Jali Smile of course. :-) Again, would make a nice jigsaw puzzle too.
