The Birds and the bees
Good Morning and hello to all. Haven't had much time to be on the site recently. Guess work takes priority, but had time to get these shots this morning in the garden. I thought I'd share them with you all. Hope you enjoy DP'Sers.
My hummer friend, she is visiting regularly these days.  First time I've seen this bird, and felt quite lucky to have captured her.  I liked the composition of this one  My new favourite macro shot. I think its my best ever.  Thanks for viewing and maybe commenting Michael

Each and every one of those shots are fabulous! If I had to pick a favourite, I think I'd agree with you on #4, although #2 would be a close second (although I have no idea either of what sort of bird it is).

I love them all. The first and last are particularly exquisite to me; I think perhaps because of the unusual warm backgrounds. What beautiful photos!
