We have bundles of hummingbirds buzzing through the air in our backyard. They often tussle in mid-flight--here I caught one little lady as she flicked her tail and chittered over an interloper at the feeders. It is a bit blurred, but something about this photo filled my eyes.
What a wonderful shot! Now if you could just get one where his wings aren't moving. (tee hee) Have a Fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend Sissy Bea. Love you.
Very nice closeup shot Beth! The only thing I don't like about my hummers is the way they fight over the feeder. Sometimes they can be downright mean to each other!
How lovely ! They are so cute and tiny - and I wish I could see one "in person" once... but we do not have them here in Germany. We have "Maikaefer" ( May Bugs) though, which are of that size ( 1inch and noisy buzz) - but these are rather yucky and not cute...
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain

Beautiful - this photo reminds me of Prospero's wonderful photos!
