rubythroated humming bird

Another female with the spread tail, but "quizzical/ head-cocked" look. I pray these dozen choose to stay a few more weeks. Blessed, regardless of how many more shots, Dan

Looks like the severe neighborhood drought has affected blooms, and therefore small insect populations and my census has gone from 45-50 to 10-15 since last week. Blessed, by every minute, Dan

More morning glories and hummers. Blessed, knowing hardly anything about anything, Dan

A female on the split, with an un-focused male red light in the distance. Never quite works out. Blessed, counting down weeks (days?), Dan

More of the same. All I know, OK? blessed, by even the tiniest of blessing, Dan

Still taking advantage of the green background. Need to take a "daybreak" census, but I think the drought has caused the early migration of about 60% of the hummers. But, I am not certain. Blessed, by every second, Dan

Please forgive the power cable, but I have to like it. A robust female hovering the clouds. Blessed, by opportunity of chance, Dan

Good focus, if nothing else. Blessed, by opportunity, Dan

What I do, what can I say? Blessed, with daily aquired knowledge, Dan

A lovely female up in the morning glories. And a mad tail, at that. Blessed, by every emotion, Dan

The old wing twist, eye glint over the tree-line. I think to be a young female. Just think, only about 6 more weeks left. Blessed, by time allowances, Dan

A young Princess practicing the ariel dodge. Doing it well, I might say. Blessed, to learn and see more and more, Dan

Still attempting extreme close-ups. Blessed, in spite of near 60 ounces a day, Dan

I somehow managed to intice this darling right up in my face, catching the martin house the two bluebird pairs use. Blessed, by slight detail sometimes, Dan

Forgive my humble tractor tire flower bed, huh? This young lady just happened to be there. What can I say? We live simple in Elm Grove. Blessed, by the distance from East to West, from one scarred hand to the other, Dan

A simply lovely creation, these little sweethearts! I could watch them all day, from daylight to dusk. Happened to capture some bovine critters in the pasture, too. Blessed, to have been given the time, Dan

That doesn't sound right, does it? Sorry! This young female looks righteous, missing feathers or not, I think. She flew just for me, it appears. Blessed, and blessed, and blessed, Dan

A dawn Princess, hovers my wife's recycled tractor tire flower bed. Pastoral, eh? Blessed, by "first light" hummers, Dan

A female backed ito my focus along with my giant clam birdbath. A little Polynesia motiff. Some of my "ham and egg" lantana and dead grass is in there somewhere. Blessed, somehow with a wavy 40lb shell, dan

Looks like females are just flying into my focus lately. This little Princess won my heart without knowing it. Blessed, and blessed again, Dan

Yeah, still trying to catch something worthy. Lots of sky today, with a spiffy female. Blessed, praying to someday leave my porch, Dan

Looks like she's fixing to claw somebody. Lots of activity today, but not much unique. Blessed, if only just to observe, Dan

A sexy close-up of a genuine southern belle. Regret the highline background, but like wow, you know, I mean hey. blessed, by acceptance into the flock, Dan

More of the same attemps at action. I'll keep trying. A female to the east around 7PM. Blessed, for the opportunity, Dan

OK, no wings or beak, but how about the back and the back of the tail. I workin' on it! Sorry about the spare tail parts. This was my odd upload night. Blessed, with joy and thanksgiving, Dan
