JDW Photos and Life

I will probably pause sending photos for a few days as the next week will be very busy for us. Thanks. The detail and color of a ruby throated hummingbird are beyond description as "beautiful" is inadequate. As you watch them fly, you get glimpses and think how pretty that split second of color is in the sun. When taking photos, I see the same flashes in the camera but never know exactly how the photo will turn out until I download it and edit it on the computer. Every once in a while, you hit a jackpot where the position of the bird's wings is appeasing, the color is brilliant, and the focus is spot-on to reveal the detail. These birds are nothing short of amazing. Enjoy these two shots. Stay in touch! Doug White

Wings have a special meaning today. Enjoy these pics. I love the transparency of the wing feathers. Stay in touch! Doug White

I had to venture outside to take some more hummingbird photos while they are still here. We have a reasonable number (maybe 20?) still creating wars at the feeders as seen below. However, we are not going through near as much solution as a week ago. The fight for position is never-ending! When I asked who was causing the trouble, this hummer ratted on his friends. He went that-a-way!!! Stay in touch! Doug White
