365/Day 210

The Watering Hole ~~

They came and went very fast. And there I was, not very far, trying to be invisible while hand-holding a very heavy full-frame camera with a 300mm zoom lens! I know that’s not the way to photograph birds, but I’ve done it before with good results. Well, this time the resulting shots were kind of “meh,” but I am sticking with them. 🙂

  Yes, they love it and often fight for it. The hummingbirds think they own it! 🙂

    mine too. they’re the boldest birds in the backyard. they’ll stick their bills in our faces at least once a day. 🙂

    We’re blessed with their constant presence, all day long in our garden and the “watering hole.”
