My First Hummer by maggiemae

My First Hummer

The road to Zion took many twists and turns and through a couple of tunnels right through the enormous mountainside. Towering cliffs on either side and absolutely tons of cars and people walking.

Its a place where you need to trek on foot so we didn’t. My foot was still an aching problem from what I think was a spider bite.

Three good things;
1.At this resort which had a no vacancy sign out, we got a good deal - a suite overlooking the canyon.
2. There was a humming bird feeding station on our deck and I was able to get my first humming bird photo!
3. A wedding was held in the grounds; I got my camera out and was amused to see that the bride (not a young one but probably in her 40’s) had black trousers and black boots on under her fancy white wedding gown with a long train!
This is wonderful. Isn't Zion incredible? Glad you have a room with a view, smile. This is a gorgeous hummy!

Lovely capture of this little hummer! Did you do the Narrows Hike through the canyon? It's an amazing experience.

Lovely caught!

Congratulations! Hummingbirds can be elusive. Harder still, I think, is catching them "perched"! :)

Well done!

Just have to catch up with all your adventures maggie! Always wanted to see a humming bird, lucky you! Sounds rather an odd ensemble for a wedding!

Makes me laugh re the bride...I had long dress and streaming veil and bare feet. Congrats on your first hummer. They are tricky to learn
July 31st, 2017  
@jgpittenger I forgot to turn the ISO up! Much prefer your bare feet!

I paid a brief visit to Zion a few years ago and was so impressed. Amazing place. I love your capture of the hummingbird. Interesting to see him not using his wings.

How fortunate for you to see this bird. I love the colours in this shot.

I'm sure you were very excited when you saw it - I would have been if I were in your place. A beautiful capture of him.
