thanks so much, Robyn, that's really very nice of you. This one was taken 2 summers ago. Unusual that the hummer was feeding from the yellow iris flower, I thought

thankyou, A.Lovely for taking time to leave a nice comment. That's quite the sized lily you have in your garden, you should join us here and submit the photo once it's blooming

Nice picture of the humming bird!

I caught a photo of a humming bird on my oriental lily the other day. It seemed so attracted to the lilies.

I have a 5'8" oriental lily just about to bloom. It certainly has

taken it's place in my small garden.

thankyou again, Beverly for the very nice comments. I do prefer to capture hummer images beside (or "in" :) the flowers, if possible.

Yet,another spectacular shot of these fascinating little birds.I applaud your talent.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on May 9, 2007 at 2:24 PM said:

thanks very much Steve, hoped you would see it, as you weren't here last year when most of my hummer shots were posted. Glad you like it :) Unusual that the hummer was drinking from the yellow flower as red flowers are their preference.

Alandra, this shot is perfect! How unbelievable that an iris petal can support the weight of a bird without even seeming to bend.
