Very beuatiful. Love the way he's peeking out at you, thinking he was hid I'm sure.

The flower in the foreground almost works like a garment for the hummingbird. She's looking fairly flirtatious that way, though I'm certain it's almost entirely unintended/

Thanks all.

They do tend to hide to keep an eye on "their" flowers and feeders. The Anna's seem to do it more than the Rufous. On the other hand I get to watch the Anna's all year so it may just seem that way.
