Hi PhotoFriends,

I am still having such a blast photographing my three hummingbirds this summer.
They are such a joy to watch.

I want to share the sweet things they do with you all here

Okay get on your garden clogs and your sun hats again ��
Let�s take a long stroll��

Preening �..

Terrific set, Bee.

Those first are just so fluffy, and cute. The in flights are excellent. Wonderful colors.

Thanks for the invitation. I'll be right over for some refreshments, and tour of the garden.

Good morning Michael,
it is so amazing how relaxed they are in my flower garden. A hummer will sit on a branch for an extremely long time that it's so mind boggling to me. They now don't even fly off if there is some loud noise. Their perched movements are so fun to watch. When they move their wings in cute positions some poses looks like they are showing off flexing their muscles

You are very sweet Michael in your response - I thank you a gazillion times and more
