Hummingbird Walk

Tonight I went on a walk intent on photographing 
a hummingbird while it fed from this plant 
which we just call our fire-stick flower.

I found other birds
 and it was easy to take their picture.



Even a young one being fed




I even photographed a bee while at it.


All I wanted was an Hummingbird to visit.


Another couple came to watch 



Then one finally came. I had only waited 
about 45 minutes. My arms and hands
 were getting tired holding the camera,
 but it was worth it to me.









I loved this shot with it's wings appearing
 to hold to the stem of the plant while eating.







Now I am hooked and will have to have a few more sessions.
