Backyard Zinnias and Visitors


Zinnias are a beautiful and hardy late summer flower. I did non realize that they are a favorite of hummingbirds. While photographing flowers in the late afternoon light this little fellow came to visit. At on point in time he hovered no more than three feet in front of me looking me over. The shutter speed for the image on the left was 1/640 second, not fast enough to stop the motion of the wings.
