My neighbor has a small fountain in her yard. The birds love it on a hot day.

    The first and last are just stunning -- the first especially for the outstretched feet. Very nice!

    I agree, Mark. The hummers are amazing photos. Definately a different look at those little guys. Nicely done thumb.gif

    The spray off the wings is very cool. (literally and figuratively)

    Really cool shots, especially the hummingbirds, with the water droplets flying around everywhere.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
