Anna’s Hummingbird ( Female )

Two pickles fell out of a jar onto the floor.

What did one say to the other?

Dill with it.

Interesting Fact: Hummingbirds have tiny legs and can neither hop nor walk, though they can sort of scoot sideways while perched.  ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Annas_Hummingbird )

    WOW! Even with a 1/800 shutter speed there is still a blur on the wings. What an incredible demonstration of the wonder of Hummingbird.

    All I can say is that might be your best photo ever. So amazing. The composition is perfect, and the lighting is perfect. 1/800 of a second, and those tiny little wings were still not quite frozen. Hummingbirds are incredible little critters.
