Darn ~ Missed Again

I've been trying to get a hummingbird photo for weeks...they dart in and out so fast, they've been a complete blur or completely gone! Think it's time to move on to something else. I'm heading up the street in a little while for the Greek Festival 5K Road Race ~ as a picture taking spectator, not a participant. Maybe I'll get something post worthy. Happy Saturday ~
Very pretty feeder and lovely photo. Hope you have better luck next time.

Well, it's a lovely bird feeder anyway! We haven't got hummingbirds but they must be even worse than bees to catch with the camera!

I would love to see the hummingbird but your feeder is gorgeous!!! Great picture Peggy.

Beautiful feeder...and great photo...oh well...
August 28th, 2010  
love your feeder!

Boy thats for sure. Last year i had humming birds stop by and leave, i didnt have a feeder, this year i get a feeder and no birds. It figures. But they are fast.

But what a great feeder, and your placement of it with the background is perfect!

Ha... goes for a house and change out birds... Fun shot.

I agree, best feeder I've ever seen!

That feeder is beautiful. They don't know what they're missing!

Mine are quite impossible to photo--but, like you, I'll keep trying. I love this feeder (the bottle) Did you make it?

Peggy- What a heart warming, grin inducing comment - Thank You !

I love this feeder, too and you know what! I'm glad you went on ahead and posted it bird or no bird cause that is the way photography is...sometimes you get it and some times you don't. I like that the waiting is documented. We are all gonna be thrilled when the hummingbird appears. Greek fest sounds fun! don't forget to eat!!! :P

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'll keep trying to get a hummer...but, I think time is running out. There's always next year...

Doesn't it just make you NUTS!? I'm in the same boat, though I don't think there's been too many hummingbirds in my area lately...That's what I'm telling myself, at least! :D LOVE the feeder...really very pretty. Wishing you the best on your 'hunt'! :D

I have soooo many. Do you make your own food? I do. For every three cups of water, I add one cup of sugar. Boil it and cool. They seem to love it.

Peggy your feeder is really lovely and made for a great photo anyway. I would love to see a hummingbird and youre so lucky to be able to attract these in your garden.
Thankyou for your kind comment on my Prairie Dogs photo. I came across the family when I was visiting Wild Britain in Bedford, England. They were in a compound and all the animals there were very happy and most were rescue animals :)

This is beautiful shot even without the hummers. Hope you manage to catch one soon.
