At Rest
For once our hummer settled down and posed for me. This porvided me with a chance to capture her beautiful iridescent feathers a bit better. Now I am hoping that her mate will appear!

catherine walker
what an angel..he’s just gorgeous.. good photo!
noffi replied
Thanks for looking Catherine and thanks for the nice comments. She is pretty active protecting what she sees as her own personal territory and so she has started to sit nearby to watch it easily. Gives me a chance to catch her at quiet times.

Kate Adams
Awesome capture Liz!!, I have never seen one at rest before, an exquisite looking species – wonderful color and details!!
noffi replied
Thanks so much Kate. She has been guarding the feeder of late. She has definitely taken up residence. What luck!

Len Bomba
She is beautiful Liz. Beautifully captured. Can’t wait to see her Hubby. Nice job! Len
noffi replied
Thanks Len, Keep your fingers crossed that she has a hubby and that he is allowed to sip from the same feeder. i think she is definitely the boss. She shares with no one!

I love humming birds, they are small and gentle just like a baby.
noffi replied
Yes, they are fluffy…I noticed that when i looked at my shots on the PC…Just amazing…so small and yet so detailed and full of color. A marvel!

Fantastic capture, Liz! The colors on the wings are truly beautiful. It is so rare to see their wings motionless! It was very kind of the hummingbird to “do a sitting” for you! The green bokeh background in this shot is absolutely wonderful, too! Superb work!
noffi replied
Thanks so much Gene. She sits near our feeder as she is very protective of it and won’t let any other bird go near it. I keep hoping for a male but she will have no part of that! Aggressive little lady that she is!
