    Those are great pictures, Glenda! Hummers are not easy to get a picture of as they move so fast. You have to be ready for them. dooley

    Lovely humming birds. I think they're my favourite birds, and we don't even have them here! :D

    Glenda, it amazes me how you and several others manage to get such great 'action' pictures. I haven't seen any hummers, although the feeder has been ready for them for sometime. Hopefully soon :)

    Many thanks Glenda. :stew1: I want to print it off (when I get a new printer that is) and maybe use it on some of my greetings cards. Is that OK with you?

    Those are great shots of hummers as they must be really hard to snapshot. They move so fast but are so pretty and interesting. Thanks for posting.

    hummers

    I have seen three hummingbirds in the last 3 weeks. Our black & blue salvia is not blooming yet, so my wife put out a feeder. I'll stalk them to get pics this year!
