Hummingbird

Home, backyard

I went out on the back patio for breakfast this morning. This guy was flitting around and trying to have breakfast, too. It was grey and overcast, so the lighting was very dim and flat.
Still, this is the first opportunity I've had to get any hummingbird shots. So, here it is.

But the shot doesn't matter - seeing them is great. Love the 'pose'.
