Mount Vernon Hummingbird

My first attempt at capturing a hummingbird in flight. This one was visiting a flower in the gardens at George Washington's Mount Vernon.

Wow great capture

Lovely capture of the hummingbird. I've been trying to get those lately to. They are hard to photograph without getting a wing blur. Fav

@vernabeth Thanks, Beth. They certainly are difficult to capture. I appreciate the fav!

@jyokota Thanks, Junko! It was by pure happenstance that I saw this hummingbird and had my camera at the ready. It was the only photo I got of it. I was thrilled to have the shot. I don't often see hummingbirds and have never tried to capture them in photos before.
