I do like a Hummer

I recently had shoulder surgery and thought to buy a Manfrotto 322 head and remote before the operation so the I could at least snap a few during recovery with one hand. So I set up the tripod near the hummingbird feeder. I had tried in vane before, but without any success. This time I was determined (and a little bit bored), but geezh, I liked the results.

Sorry, if there are too many images, but I got excited.

Of course, it took hundreds to get a couple. :D

Thanks for looking.

    That one with the tongue is a neat image. Images 2 and 3 have some very nice eye contact. I like the color of the hummer in image 4.

    WOW! I don't think I've ever seen a hummingbird land (nor have I seen their tongue - haha).

    Great shots!:D
