my honey birds <3

[fuel1316]

so weve had a small humming bird nest hanging from our patio twinkle lights for 3 years now. its empty most of the year. but we get a momma that uses it every spring (not sure if its the same bird?) and i happened to see her sitting in it this past month.



i took a peek inside and a single little egg was there. i let her go about her business. next week i looked and this is what i found



i lud my little man so much! (yea i call him little man and no idk if its a male or female lol)

so ive been following him every couple days and boy do these things grow quick!





hes almost ready to leave the nest. perching on the side. flapping his wings. readying himself to go

Great shots!

Unfortunately, I think the bokeh on the fence in shot number one takes away from the focus of the photo.

 

[fuel1316]

you point me out bokeh and a fence in shot #1

 

[Darrell]

Is that not a fence? and the blur I assumed was bokeh.

 

[fuel1316]

well i have been known to hang fences over bird nests
:tongue:

its a trellis and if you want some nice bokeh ive got some in the last photo. but fair is fair. its a crummy shot *crawls into a hole and cries*

Shit, your photos are worlds better than mine, lol. I have a DSLR, and I can't shoot for shit.

 

[fuel1316]

[Darrell]

I can't be bothered really, so that's why I haven't haha.

Can't take good photos unless you have "the eye".

I have a pretty shit camera--just a step up from a point and shoot, but I get some great shots because I have "the eye".

 

[fuel1316]
