Nature Walks – The Hummingbird

We see hummingbirds flitting around quite frequently, but they are so hard to get pictures of because they rarely slow down. But this time, I got very lucky. We were dining out on our beloved deck and I spied a wee little bird high up in the trees. Fortunately I had my camera with me, and I zoomed in as much as I could. And to my surprise, I got him. I got a few shots of him before he was off flitting about once more.

This is a little Calliope Hummingbird. At most he is only between 3-4 inches long. These are definitely some very lucky shots.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it. Sometimes, you just might get lucky.

So cute! And sometimes a bit scary. Yesterday something zoomed by my head that I thought at first was a huge bumblebee. It started me, but then I realized no bumblebee is THAT big. So I went from “AAA! 😬” to “Aaaww! 💕”
