    We have not had rain since last June and today we had a bit of a mist. These leaves had a bit of water on them and this hummer came in for a bath.

    If a bird can show emotions that little hummer is experiencing sheer bliss. :D

    How cute. I was thinking maybe it passed away due to the over excitement of the little bit of mist there in that last picture. poor thing.

    Sorry to hear you have been so dry there. I hope you start getting some rain soon.

    To capture actions of an animal out of the ordinary is remarkable and speaks for the photographers talents of capturing nature during interesting moments. Thank you Kildale for presenting such a exceptional set of photos.

    Love the pictures. And if I could only learn how to take them. But you tell how good that felt -the last picture.
