Wow--what a fabulous capture. A fav for me. (I haven't seen one hummingbird yet this year. So glad to see them on here ; ) A fav for me.

[elkehochban]

so glad that you got some rain! We had a few drops, but need lots more, but I hope it holds off for a few days, just until I get our new shed painted.

[John Guerin]

What a cute bird and great shot.

[Suomi]

Wonderful shot! We are in dire need of rain. A reprieve from this horrendous heat would be awesome! It reached +30C INSIDE my house yesterday. Today so far we have..... +28.5C. I guess that's better?.... Ugh. I would love to get some hummingbird shots... this one is lovely. Great catch!

[Carolyn White]

@suomi Thank you! We had 12 straight days of 100+F. Our temps started going down a little yesterday, but the humidity is stiil high. Today is the first good rain we've had in a month. We need lots more! Everything is brown and crispy. The farmers are having a hard time.

GORGEOUS! Fav for me! and the rain? Nice. We are getting some every afternoon/night. We need it! but the storm part is scary...

I am shocked you got such a clear shot at 1/640 shutter speed! You'd think he'd have moved and been blurry.

Wow, that's a real coup - what dinky little creatures they are.
