Very Nice Gene

Very nice Gene.

Beautiful Gene! Hummers are always wonderful to see!

Lovely shots Gene.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to a different botanical garden today so hopefully, I'll be able to see more hummingbirds there.

Wow, talk about living dangerously-those thorns could pierce a hummer thru and thru! Nice captures, Gene.

Nicely done Gene!

Nice shots Gene, really like #3.

Wow Gene, hummers in a botanical garden have got to feel like they've died and gone to hummer Heaven.
Love your series showing these little acrobatic aces in action. I'd agree w/Rog too that they appear to love to live dangerously with some of those thorns around. Nice job!

I should have checked to see just what kind of plant that was with all those long thorns. It was either a very large bush or a small tree. Watching confirmed just how much these guys are precision flyers.

I like the first shot best but the 3rd one would top it in my mind if his wings had been caught more in action. He appears to be just hanging vertically from the flower now.

Here's one more shot I forgot to post earlier.

Went back and looked at that 3rd shot-sure he isn't impaled? Just kidding...I think.

Nice set Gene

No hummingbirds were harmed while being photographed around the thorn bush.

Nice set Gene

Thanks very much.

Last one in the first set is so cool. These guys can keep you entertained all day I guess. TFS.
