Hummingbird

A hummingbird pauses atop a garden cage just waiting
 for his turn at the feeder nearby.

Catching these hyper little birds in a posed position for even a moment
 is a challenge, but my son had the patience to wait!

    Very nice looking bird - I have always wanted to see a humming bird in the feather - one day maybe!

    I've tried and failed many times this summer. I especially like the composition - that's a charming perch!

    I love watching hummingbirds and I found there are three that have been visiting my flowers in the back yard. I'm going to get a feeder.
