Today I spent the afternoon at the Calendar gardens, and was thrilled to see Hummingbirds, and Hummingbird Moths, they were very active, and hard to shoot, but i sure enjoyed my time there.

This shot might be the best of the lot, but I might have a few more to share of this cute hummer.

Used the canon 40D with the canon 70-300mm IS USM lens, 300mm focal length, hand held and used continuous shooting mode.

I cropped, flipped, and gave it a touch of topaz lens effects, and adjust 5.

Your comments are most appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Thought that only butterflies are fond of the nectar of a Buddleja davidii, but see that this hummer has a good taste (lol) as well, Sandi.

I agree with you that such a shot is very difficult to take, but you've succeeded very well. My compliments.

Regards, Cornelius.

I've tried getting the little hummer that visits my hanging baskets every summer with no luck but a blurr! Very nice job on this capture.
