20150826 075 SERIES - Ruby-throated Hummingbird.jpg

Our yard

Three images of a Ruby-throated hummingbird feeding at three different Zinnia flowers in my garden.





Note: I usually plant Zinnias primarily for Butterflies, but this year, the Hummingbirds seem to have taken possession of them. Other years, I've had very few Hummingbirds and usually quite a few Butterflies, but so far this year, almost no Butterflies. In fact, today I saw the first Monarch in my garden this year. Of course, I didn't have my camera in hand. Hopefully more will come over the next few weeks.

What a tremendous series of captures Hank. The clarity, colors and composition in each is fantastic. I like the feeling of the movement of the wings which feels so natural. Terrific work. Voted+++

We all have zinnias on our "to plant next year" list after seeing your terrific photos - hoping to lure hummers to them too.
