ISO 640

This Hummingbird was approaching a Lucifer plant, during its brief flowering time in the Summer. ( Adult female or possibly a juvenile Hummingbird). Orange or red coloured flowers are generally the preference, although they will sometimes feed at flowering plants producing other colours, as well.

A beautiful capture Paul! I also like the way the flower seems to be bowing towards the little hummer as it approaches.
