Theme Day: Photo of the Year

 

January 1st is the day that City Daily Photo bloggers post their favorite photo from last year's many posts. I chose this one that I posted on September 8th.  I took this photo of this pretty little Rufous Hummingbird when I was at Newport Coast at the end of summer.  I was surprised to see this little fellow and equally surprised that my hand-held telephoto photo turned out this beautifully.  It's my favorite one that I posted last year.

A fine photo it is. Handheld is the best way to shoot.
