Hi Bob,
Very well shot even if they "almost" ;-) stood still for you. :-)
We have humming birds around here sometimes at the hanging flower baskets,
but they're so fast I you don't happen to be looking in the flower pot
direction you don't see them.
Even when I've had a camera handy on the table, before I pick it up . "POOF"
like smoke in a wind.. They are gone. :-(
So it's hats off to you for these fine examples.
ted
