I was patiently waiting for some monarchs at the Waystation and this little hummer made an appearance. I've never seen one in the wild before so I didn't mind the distraction at all!

Awesome shot Hilda. The angles of the flowers, bird and beak all complement each other to make a beautifully balanced picture. Great job.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

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
