Due to a necessary trip to town, I was able to make a brief stop at Delta Ponds today and thought I would check on my hummingbird friend, who I have seen in the same tree the past three years. Sure enough, there it was, or perhaps by now someone else in the family. What a treat to see the hummingbirds in the wild! I tried capturing it in flight using the back button focus method, and was pleased to get this image of it as it took off. An added blessing was catching the fantastic colors they display at the right angles. Of course, from this angle I missed the gorgeous green of its back.
