thanks very much, Anne. Had hoped to capture this for awhile, as had seen them doing this many times after feeding. Finally got the shot :)

thanks very much, Karen and Carol. I was quite pleased to capture that one. Have often seen hummers doing this, after feeding on the nectar, but never captured it before, far as can recall.
