Amazing shot !! Did you know it was around?? I’ve got feeder shots but a natural flower and a hummingbird perfectly in focus and stopped perfectly is just amazing !! Congrats man thats not easy
BigD replied
I have them from late spring to early fall. I plant zinnias in the front flower bed and I have a hummingbird feeder hanging as well. they love them both. I sat on the front deck steps for about 5 to 10 minutes before I capture this. Thanks for the great view.
