Taken this morning - a male Anna's hummingbird taking a break on my patio. Their metallic ruby head color usually appears black unless the light is just right, which it usually is not for photo purposes. This guy sometimes just sits here for a while, watching me watching him. Taken from about 4'.

Wow...didn't anybody ever tell him he was supposed to stop at the throat with that ruby coating? Excellent shot and it's a real piece of art you've captured. :)

I've never seen one with these colors! What a great shot and how fortunate you are to have them come so close. Love it.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
