Super job on catching lightning standing still. I've wasted a few hours chasing hummers. Digital cameras with no limit on shots are the best things ever invented!

oh, that 2nd shot is GREATness! perfect feather detail on her head, and fantastic angle to catch her in. LOVE it!!! thanks for making it thru the other 498 so you could share these 2 with us!

Dianna said...

Well, those 2 were worth it!

(At least you didn't waste film!)

I just love these little guys, and you have captured this one so beautifully Debbie!

Have a fantastic weekend my friend!

MyMaracas said...

Beautiful! You captured such nice detail in that second one, especially. Hummers are really hard to photograph.

Lorie said...

Absolutely gorgeous! I can't get enough of your photos. You should publish a book. Seriously!

Susan said...

Well done. Such sweet little birds. Thank goodness for the digital age!!

Ellie said...

All in a day's work!! Good thing we don't have to buy film anymore! I'd take out some stock & become rich off you!

Reena said...
