thankyou Carol. haven't seen any hummers around here today, so perhaps they've finally left.

Hi Golda, thanks for the nice comments, - had just said the same thing to DH about the feathers resembling fish scales :) - maybe you're right about the other life too :)

Spectacular series of these little ones Alandra.

The back of the bird looks as tho' it is made of some kind of fish scales.

You seem to have quite a symbiotic connection with hummingbirds...another life perhaps???

Excellent photo Alandra! Love all of the colors, especially the tail feathers and all of the flowers. That is one big Hummingbird with it's beak on top of the house LOL..
