Eye to Eye
I was very inspired by Karen Tillotson’s in a perfect world image.
I just had to do my own…
This is a psp’d image of what my dog does when she sees a hummingbird. Granted they never get this close to her but she just stands there and watches them.
I am just like my dog, both of us are just amazed with this beautiful little creature.

Wow, wonderful compilation. Love the background and the way you composed all of this. I too am in awe of hummingbirds. They are so fast, “now ya see them, now ya don’t”, I never even have time to go and get my camera because they come so unexpectedly and stay for such a short time!

Thanks Nanagahma, I agree they are very fast. Today I watched one get chased away by a bee. I hope you hav a wonderful day!!
