these shots were taken today as I was relaxing from a long day pulling weeds and blackberry bushes up.

Nice pics.
Hey Larry... thanks!
Way Kool! I never seem to have the cam when the Lil' buggers are feedin...
guess I should just hang it around my neck while gardening
Great shots!
MsM, great photos of the hummer and the Gloriosa lily. I never seem to have my camera ready when the hummers are near. have a lot of them but can't find a nest. Donna
Enjoyed your pix MzM. I think everyone enjoys the little hummers & your photos are excellent.
Trish I don't think you have gotten a more perfect shot.
thank you all! I so enjoy these little winged jewels in my garden. I recently set up another feeder by my bedroom window where I can lie in bed drinking my first cup of coffee in the morning and watch them. That is usually when I see the males coming to the feeder.
Oh MzM!! How beautiful they are!! I have to live through yall's pictures! Those are great!
My Anna's hummer(s) been hanging around the Glory Lily, too, and I thought it was a little odd, as the flower doesn't have at all the 'look' of their usual favorites (salvias and the leonotis, 'tube' flowers).
Today I was out taking some pics of the lilies, and in the view-finder I saw a shadow against the white-stucco wall -- by the time I looked around to find her, she was between me and the sun, so I couldn't get a shot of her -- but obviously she was checking on what *I* was around *her* flower!
~'spin!~
Loved your photos! Very Nice.
Great shots!
Great shots! What camera do you have and what was you shutter speed? How far away were you? The looking at the camera is exciting, I must get that! This shot of mine was an early morning one or I could have stopped the wings with a higher shutter speed. They seem to visit when the light is low here,and my flash won't reach 25ft out.
This was this morning. Do you think it is the same type?
Monterey, I use an Olympus Z750. I know I had that set up on the auto and I was about 5' away from the plant.
Your's does look very much like a ruby throat that second shots is nice!
