I was sitting at the window as usual, doing some morning exercises, when I noticed a blur around the pink Bleeding Heart right in front of me. I looked more carefully and it was a Hummingbird, a Ruby-throated, by far the most common kind we see here. I grabbed my camera and tried to get some pictures. Even at the best of times it moved so fast it seemed blurred, and the wings were just a blur all the time.
It hovered first at the farthest blossoms, and I had to be quick to get it in my lens.
Great shots! You really captured the iridescence. How exciting to see it right outside your window.
ReplyDeleteWe have one pair of hummers here this year, that's all. Better than none, I guess.
It was indeed a prize. Fortuitous! You captured it well!
ReplyDeleteThe shining feathers, what a great time to be at the window. A truly stunning set of photos.
ReplyDeleteYou did well and had a good time doing it.
ReplyDeleteYou got some really good shots!!! When I sit on the porch I see a humming bird come to the petunias that are in a hanging basket. Sometimes it will come right up to me and stare me in the face!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fabulous to see this ... lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

ReplyDeleteLove those Hummers! At least 4 males and 2 females visit our feeder regularly. There are a lot of antics around the feeder, constant entertainment.
