Thank you Joe!

I do see hummingbirds in the backyard and around the neighborhood often, but rarely have my camera at the ready or just wasn't able to get a decent image. However I tried to learn from my many mistakes.

When I saw this one in the backyard when I opened the blinds for the day, I quicky got the camera, lens, flash combination together and got my settings where I thought they had to be. As luck would have it, the hummingbird was still there and concentrating on the flower and not on me.

Thanks again!

Love how delicate Hummingbirds are, they are so amazing.
