As I wait for Hummingbirds to arrive I couldn’t resist posting a shot from last summer. This small subject in screen shot really reveals just how tiny these birds are. I could have cropped this shot to isolate the bird on a specific clump of flowers but this broader shot offers a full view of the many flowers this bird has been feeding on.

When looking at the thumbnails of the Latest Pics section I spotted the hummingbird pic and thought, “I bet Emil took it.” Right again – wonderful colors combined with action.
