In which I finally get my hummingbird shot
Sunday, July 24, 2011
But all summer long I've been trying to capture one of these dear little creatures on film. I have let the tulip vine grow messy with the hope of a seduction. I have not brought the glads inside for the same reason.
Hummingbirds are easy, my friend Mike once said. But hummingbirds have eluded me. I have waited years.
I have a family now. This one's mate was just a white glad down.

We adore hummingbirds and love to watch them. Capturing them with a camera is no easy feat!
Just to get the whole bird in one shot is an accomplishment! I find I'll catch just a wing or a tail.
Wow -- impressive! I never manage to capture one on my camera.
This is lovely!!
Great shot. I keep trying, but have not captured a good picture yet.
Congrats!! Very nice shot :)
Nice hummingbird shots. I find them impossible to capture. If you want inspiration, check out Carol’s hummingbird photos at Flower Hill Farm: http://flowerhillfarm.blogspot.com/2011/05/gardening-for-wildlife-new-blog-and-new.html
