What kind of camera are you using?
Thank God for the breeze we've had the last 2 days. It makes the heat bearable. I think this is the 3rd or 4th tornado watch/warning this week!

My camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z740. I used the portrait feature to take the pictures. Kodak - US search results for 'Z740'
I love this camera, but I would like to have one that is real thin and I can carry with me in my purse all the time. The other day we saw a deer in the creek and it was just so beautiful and I didn't have a camera.

I know what you mean about the breeze...it has been so strong this afternoon. The rain just came and it is pouring down..I'm in northern Clinton County. I know the counties just north of us are under a tornado watch. I'm not afraid of storms at all, but I've just about had my fill of bad weather for awhile.

Nice picture's, I love watching the humming bird's. I usually have one with a suction cup on it that I stick on my kitchen window above my sink and I would watch them while doing my dishe's. There has been a few time's the dog's have noticed them feeding off the feeder. They are beautiful bird's. Guess I better get busy and get mine hung up.

Wow! That was some hummingbird! They are quite territorial, aren't they?

Yesterday morning I was sitting on the porch reading the morning paper and heard one behind me. It was about five inches off the ground, going back and forth, over and over again, a distance of about a foot and a half. It did this for a while. I could see nothing there that it was trying to intimidate. Crazy bird.

Later, it did the very same thing right in front of another hummingbird that was sitting on a branch. It just watched it, the sitting bird's head was turning back and forth like folks do at a tennis match. LOL It certainly is amusing to watch them.

I have had them hover right in front of my eyes while I am trying to read. At first, it sort of scared me, but now it doesn't bother me. They are curious little creatures!

Oh, I had never considered that there are places where hummingbirds aren't, except maybe the places that remain frozen all year long. I am so sorry you don't have them. They are beautiful and entertaining as well.
