Obviously not the best hummingbird shot ever, but I wanted to share anyway. I sat on Ms. Jeanne's steps yesterday for about 30 minutes holding up the SX40 HS with a focal lock breathing as slow and steady as a could all aimed up on the feeder waiting for the hummers to come and go. I think I had 4 chances to take pics for a few fleeting seconds, and the daily shot of the male and the other shot of him and the female below are the best that I came away with. Thankfully I was in the shade, but that camera is heavy for me, and I was ready to take a rest at that point.

Gail, thecuriouscamel, has the best hummer shots!
Also in Ms. Jeanne's garden is this interesting cross and very large hollyhock (I think). That burgundy color is stunning!

Where is a butterfly when you need one? Maybe I could turn one or both of the coneflower shots below into cards. There is room for text.

Here's another gorgeous white hollyhock. So pretty and such a large bloom!

This white coneflower variety is quite eye catching too!

Superb composition with bird, matching feeder, and tendrils! Your photos are terrific, especially the flowers! They are too small on Blogspot but just fine on Smumug. Thanks for sharing!
