Hummingbird week (3)

[guppiecat]

So after taking photos of hummingbirds in pretty poor light, we wound up at a place that had a hummingbird garden and it was in full sun. This is great for seeing the bright colours, but less than ideal for contrast reasons.

*sigh*

No one ever puts the sun where it really needs to be.

Anyway, the set is here.

Amazingly wonderful photos.

I am sad that the "butterfly gallery" at the Detroit Zoo no longer has hummingbirds. They have a short lifespan, poor things.

Ironically... longer than butterflies.

Wow, these are like something out of Yeats's "Byzantium."
