A dreary and rainy day here. Very cool too.
Yesterday was in the 80s and today we have a high of about 50!

This female ruby-throated hummingbird was here this afternoon,
fueling up on some sugar water. It's easy to make your own, just boil
a 4:1 ratio of water to sugar. We make 6 cups using 1.5 cups of sugar--
and NO RED DYE, please. They don't need it and it's harmful to them.

Nice! We have hummingbirds up this way too, but they are hard to locate. My photography goal this summer is to find and photograph one. :-) This is an awesome shot!

Awesome detail and color. I haven't seen any humming birds in person. V

Great shot Carl. Tack sharp and such a nice depth of field.

Nice shot! It looks like you have the same feeder we do, I didn't know the red food coloring was bad for the bird, thanks for the info.

Same weather here. The birds must be so confused, but it didn't stop this gorgeous hummer from dropping by. Fantastic detail!! V
