    I love that last sentence!rolleyes1.gif .

    Plus it is interesting w all these things/animals/birds, how their colors camouflage right into the environment. I never thought that would be true of hummingbirds, but I couldn't see them: until I could.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    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!"

    Very kewl shot John thumb.gifthumb.gif


    I see the one's in my area doing this all the time. They chase each other around and even have an occassional jousting duel by my feeder ( you can hear their beaks clicking against one another:uhoh ) Maybe it's some sort of territorial thang. Or possibly a Napoleon complex......Laughing.gif Whatever it is, it's sure fun to watch (and hard to shoot :cry )

    Good work and love the colors clap.gif
