ISO 1600

This image is from last summer, and shows a female feeding at a penstemon plant, which bloomed twice during that time period. Due to the delicate nature of the stems, they are very susceptible to motion from wind, so a calm day makes feeding for the hummingbirds easier, and better conditions to take photographs.

Nicely done Paul. Always tricky with the wind so a good one to get a calm day. A classic shot!

Sweet shot- looks like the flower reflected pink on the hummer. Nice background.
