thanks guys.
bobobird: no flash.
hummer was taken hand-held.ISO 800,1/2500 sec,f/5.6.didnt have enough light for 1/3200 sec,which is needed to freeze the wings completely.

Nice work Denis!

Thanks denis for the phototip.

The plant that your hummingbird is buzzing around is called "Jewelweed", and it is the BEST cure for mosquito bites, poison ivy, and bites, or stinging nettles rashes.

Just take the stem and crush it and rub it on the affected area.

It is very soothing and gooey like aloe.

It is a native plant.

great hummingbird pics, denis.
yesterday, i waited 1 hr for the hummer to make an appearance. when she did, my settings were off, so i don't have any crisp pics.

thank you everyone for the kind words.
thank you soaring hawk. i knew the name of the plant, but not the medicinal qualities.
richard: there are 3 or 4 females and one m. juvi at halls rd.just pre-meter, before the action starts and you wont miss it.
