I'm still searching for balance in my life. I need to exerise, to breathe fresh air, to enjoy the beautiful world around me, but I spend way too much time on work. I often wonder how other teachers do it. So if you teach, please share your secrets. A ten-hour work day isn't enough time for me to get everything done. And that, in itself, is a bit ridiculous I think.
Last weekend I tried to capture hummingbirds in flight but ended up with these instead. I was using my Canon but had a difficult time focusing on the bird in flight. I would focus on the bird feeder, instead, thinking that would be close enough, but the hummingbird was always out of focus. I may try again tomorrow.
It took a while for them to feel safe with me around. I pulled a chair up pretty close to the feeder and waited. They would flit past so fast, I could hear the beating of their wings easier than I could see them.
Happy Weekend!
enJOY!

I feel the same way by the time the weekend comes. Today I'm doing nothing but hanging out with my family and doing some laundry. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the energy to leave the house!
Your hummers look regal!
Teaching at the type of school as you do Roban means lots of extra unpaid hours have to be put in, so if you can dedicate one day of the weekend for your leisure that would be a great start.
How cool to sit in a chair near your feeder with your camera in hand and wait for the hummingbirds...I bet you weren't thinking of your chores or work then, just those beautiful elusive birds.
Balance will come one day.

I think your hummingbird shots turned out wonderfully!
Good luck getting everything done!
What precious little ones they are, and how fortunate you were to be able to photograph them!
