We go through this every year.
Me with my camera, you with your aversion to cameras.
You make me work for every snap. At the end of our photo session I have to throw most of your pictures in the trash.
But, once in a while there are a couple of shots that are good enough to share. Thank you for that.
Your admirer,
Birdie
Great shots! All of my attempts to photograph them went into the trash bin.
ReplyDeleteIt's challenging and that's probably why I keep trying. Often like you, I throw them ALL out.
DeleteOh...I can certainly relate! I have thrown out more hummer shots than any others. Yours are FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby. It's usually easier to get a good shot when there's a large population of hummers at the feeders. Right now we have about 12 at a time, but at the peak of the migration we often have 100 at a time. At that point, they lose a lot of their cautiousness, but they still don't like the reflection of the camera lens...and they're really quick.
DeleteBest letter I've read in a while. I love you so much!
ReplyDeleteYou encourage me, dear daughter. Love you and can't wait to see you. Soon, very soon.
DeleteYour perseverance pays off! The colors shimmer in the first photo and the third, stop-action, is incredible. Thank you for sharing the, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margene. I do enjoy having photos to look back on after the hummers are gone, so that's why I keep at it.
