Minding My Own Business


Here I was in my own garden minding my own business. Actually, I crouched down on my knees and concentrated in taking some macro images of Spring Freesias between showers on Easter Sunday. What could possibly bother me getting those lovelies to response favorably? 


And then an imperious hummingbird buzzed me. He looked from behind the feeder with that "look." What was I doing beneath the feeder, contorted holding a camera. Right near his necter! Never mind, this bugger fed despite my presence. In my yard, many hummingbirds seem to enjoy feeding when I'm around. Despite my nearness, all of them throw that "look" into my mug.



I did manage a dozen photos, before my guest departed. Thank God for Aperture priority. And a sun muted by rain clouds that perfectly cross-lit my subject.

Oh yes, I did capture some Freesias.
