End of the Summer ---- Hummingbirds! (25)
Hi PhotoFriends,
My last sighting of a hummingbird was yesterday. Haven’t seen one today.
It seems they stuck around longer than last year.
It was such a joy being able to photograph them for around 2 ˝ months.
I have shared many photos with you already but there are still gobs more that I haven’t shared with you yet. I was so happy I got more keepers than I would of imagined for this season
Let me check out the photos from this summer that I haven’t shared with you all and reminisce on the awesome time I had photographing them!
Here I will think back on the days I was so lucky to capture theses poses:
Pix 1
I loved when Ruby would show his backside as well as his eye. His green feathers just glisten!
Pix 21
This is one of the last flowers I bought for Ruby.
A lot of you at N&W mentioned that your hummers enjoy this flower.
I had them in the past but didn’t notice hummers enjoying them.
So I figured why not try them again. They still did not like them.
I kept that I could at least get one capture of Ruby sipping and I did
Flower is called: Agastache - Anise Hyssop ‘Blue Fortune’.
Pix 25
This photo marks the end of Hummer Season.
This is my last photo that I photograph of my Ruby-Throat this summer.
It surely tells a story! You can see Rubies beloved Cardinal Flower coming to an end too as I say good-bye to my sweet little hummer!
I can’t wait for next Summer – Till we meet again Ruby
All and all you can see that I had an awesome blast – so much more than I can express to you all!
Thank you all for viewing my newest Hummingbird thread!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Hard to believe after finishing up this post I still have gobs more hummer photos to still share with you all. Maybe I will introduce Ruby to the Bald Eagles this year

Quite a nice collection BB. Too many good ones to comment on. Thanks for a summer filled with superb hummer images and stories. However, given the time you've spent with them, I'm sure you have a large archive of images ready to be doled out over the winter months.

"Double B",
I guess I will be going into hummer withdrawal as these beautiful creatures head to warmer climates and your immediate capture and post subsides a bit.
Hopefully your inventory is vast and you will keep us salivating thru the upcoming fall,winter,early spring months!
Exceptional compositions!
Dan
