Flying Jewels

It's Hummer time again! We must have a dozen or more and the numbers are growing. One thing I have found is that it is very hard to take a picture of a humming bird!

It probably doesn't help that I ususally wait until the last of the sunlight to get my camera out! And the best way to get some freeze action is to use the flash, which makes the background dark. Usually, I just get a lot of blurs (about 20 in this batch), but this time I got lucky with a few good shots!
