You take the best hummingbird shots by far. I love this one in particular because you have captures a lot of details in it. I think I have learned a lot just by looking at your pictures :) Thanks!!!

This composition is one of my favorites of your hummer photos. You get to see both the bird and garden, yet the background for the bird is properly out of focus. Also, you wonder what the bird must be thinking. Great job.

This is mind-boggling, Alandra, with the perfect reflection in the gazing ball and the blurred background. Gorgeous colors

thankyou Golda, for the nice comments, glad you like it : ) They are so territorial, these are chasing the bushtits, chickadees and sparrows away any chance they get.
