I've been sorting and editing the 550 photos I took while in California and have decided that these three are on my "favorites" list. I was sitting and relaxing with a cool drink while enjoying the view when this little Rufous hummingbird landed on a plant close by. I took these photos with my telephoto lens but they are hand held so I was both surprised and pleased that they turned out so beautifully.
Handheld is the only way to go. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteNice... his colouring is charming. I am looking forward to the rest of your 550 photos.

Amazing, a few shots like that make the day.
ReplyDeleteI am very familiar with this little fellow. I have a very busy feeder on one side of our cabin. He has a reputation as a feisty little guy who likes a fight!…….but yes he is cute…and a great capture!
ReplyDeleteExquisite!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots, Sharon! Such a handsome creature.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are terrific. You should enter them in a contest, maybe for bird or wildlife photography. You'd be a strong contender!
ReplyDeleteOh, such beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love Hummers.
The are fabulous pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery steady hands. Must have been your *first* cool drink of the evening. 😉
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a very curious grumpy cute little fellow
