Tiny Gems
Being behind the camera shooting birds the past few year has been very rewarding to me, not only that I have improved my skills as a photographer but it has gotten me closer to Nature, to avians in this case, to be more specific. There is one species that has gotten a lot of my attention, the hummingbirds.
In my backyard I’ve been blessed with the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that come to my backyard to drink their favorite nectar daily. I believe this is the third season that they’ve been with me and I’m growing fond of them. Such beautiful little creatures!
I have some pictures from last week to give you an idea of what creatures I’m writing about.
