Hummingbird, Sitting on the Fountain Spray

Hummingbird, Sitting on the Fountain Spray

Hummingbird, rufous female, sitting right on the top of the droplets from the fountain. The end of her beak can be seen, beyond her wing, in the original, but not sure if it will show up on this compressed version.

thanks very much, Johan, glad you like it. I agree, each continent does have wonderful birds. Wish I could see them all : )

I can't decide which is more beautiful Alandra. So many and all so imaginatively captured in the most delightful settings.

Vicki, thanks also, - forgot to say that just now in the previous comment.

Hi Vicki. Yes, it does look that way. Am hoping to capture more images like this, this summer.

No, I didn't create a DVD of these, but should.

I love this, Alandra. It looks like trick photography. Great work. Vicki

Did you ever create the DVD?

am happy you like it, Orchidea, thanks for the nice comment. Did you see the image where the same hummingbird is breaking the water droplet with her beak?

alandra - this is a most beautiful and unique scene. Beyond one's dream. Brilliant capture of ephemeral beauty.

Hi Mary, and thanks, -- that's a coincidence you saying that about the DVD, as was just thing of this last night, - thinking of making one for my Mum for her birthday, - have never made one before tho', and knowing me, who knows if it will materialize : ) Just bought 2 big stacks of dvds a few days ago, so should give it a try.

Alandra, you have such a nice series of Humingbird photos you should put together a DVD slide show..with music! :)
