Humming Birds

Dont be shocked at me doing posts two days in a row LOL, I cant guarantee that will happen often, I am up and about as we have a busy day today, Lulu and I are heading out to help at a food Pantry this morning from 10-12 at a local church, we helped there last week and enjoyed the experience and the feeling we were giving back, so it going to be a regular thing for us, we also have some supplies to drop off again this week some school supplies for children in need in the community.

But i digress from what this post is about so here i go

I have said in posts and comments many a time patience is not one of my strong points, but now that I am retired and the house is almost all setup as we want it, its something I am trying to work on, and a good way to do that is to sit with your camera to try and get some shot of birds, and that's what this post is about, Hummingbirds, in this case, visiting the feeder we have set up in our back yard.

it did take a bit of patience to get these shots, when we were out sitting in the back yard we saw humming birds visiting the feeders now and again, but when I would setup my camera and tripod, and sit for a while they did not seem to want to visit, but I sat there for a while each time and waited for one to come.

her is the first shot i will share in this post, I do have a few others to edit, and will be trying to get more shot of them for sure

now when i say I sat there for a while, the first time which was unsuccessful, I only sat for half an hour, which to me felt like an eternity LOL, but I worked on my patience, and have sat there waiting patiently for over an hour at times, and with these shots its motivating me to work on my patience in the future and try to get even better shots

As I said these are the only three shots I have edited for now, and it's a funny thing when I showed these three shots to my wife and Daughter in Law we all had a different favorite image so I would love to know

Which is your favorite of these three shots?

Now I know I used the feathered Friday tag, and although the hummingbirds meet that category its not a Friday but I used it anyway, call me a rebel LOL

And that’s all folks

Hummingbirds have always been a favorite of mine. I love the last photo. Your patience pai]d of handsomely with three gorgeous photos. You may find retirement busier than work life, but at least you get to call the shots!

We are doing okay, given the circumstances. Seems like the whole world has gone crazy. We still have to be careful and keep our heads down. Hopefully, one day things will change. How are you and Jeff doing? When's the wedding?
