Belly up to the Bar, Boys! by Weezilou

Belly up to the Bar, Boys!

After posting my Buttercup photo, I spent an hour out back and got pictures of the hummingbird, squirrel, crow, a pair of ducks and my grandsons! Except that I had to yelp at Ashton when he threw pool water my way as I was trying to take his picture (Which I took for a "No...") it was a lovely, "Peaceable Kingdom"! This time my photo is of the male hummingbird as, under his chin was a florescent red gem of a throat! Trying to manually focus as they rise, hover and dip again can get tricky, I went with the best I had from this one encounter!

FYI, they're not skittish birds at all, and will often come around as we step outside, always seemingly curious about us and our activities! I nearly always hear them before I see them as their flight makes a swooshing sound...and they do make a tiny chirp when content!
Wow!!!! Just Wow!!!
