Arrow hummingbirds!!!

We are returning Thursday.

This past week my son was here and we had a very lucky hummer day with photos. We both wore our hummer compatible shirts...he with an all red one and me with my yellow with red flowers one (he calls it my old lady shirt --
.
) So we were on the dock in mid afternoon and two migrants came by to see my flowers. It was a bonanza because they were not afraid of us. I have a 12 X zoom Sony auto and he had a Pentax SLR with a huge zoom. My auto however worked best. Here are 3 shots...which are the best I have ever taken. I used another setting (the action one) to get these.
It only works in bright light however. We were so excited. It was fantastic. Hummers are so difficult to photograph.
We had about a 20 minute window.

When I get back I'll explore the photo album more carefully, but I don't have much online time here while charging.

We are having wonderful weather now, the best of the whole season.
