p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wintery Mix in The South Today

Snow is a rare sight for us in the deep south.
Today brought a mix of sleet, rain and snow all at the same time. It was quite damp and cold for us

It was fun trying to get the hummers in the snow and sleet. They were all fluffed up trying to stay dry and warm.

Hope you enjoy.

Your comments are much appreciated.

Thank you for looking

Birdie

It is nice to see the hummer still hang around, Birdie. Very fine images.

You just keep being such an inspiration Birdied! These are great, as always!

Looks like pretty harsh weather, which I love, not only is it great fun being out in but it also adds a very different mood and atmosphere to the images

Very unusual at least for me to see a humming bird in these conditions. Great job thanks for taking the time. They are one tough little bird.

These are a treat to view Birdie

Is this your first time capturing a hummer with some snow coming down?

Rasmus, you are always so very kind, thank you . I got so cold being out in all the cold rain and sleet, it took me forever to get warm

Nice! It’s refreshing to shoot in snowy conditions - as you get a very different look. You don’t see too many hummingbird images in the snow. I lived in London for 5 years and it snowed only once, and boy was it exciting, as everything looked so different. Apparently it snows in London about once every 5 years.

Very unusual conditions for us. We don't get snow but maybe every 8 to 10 years on average. We actually had snow one time on Christmas Day in 2004

First time and it was quite a thrill to be able to do so.

I think the last time it showed here was 2008 or 2009. We don't get it often at all and it is quite a thrill .

I think they may have been surprised to have that kind of weather, but they really are tough little birds.
