Our Summer Guests

What a wonder it was to have a hummingbird family in our tree in the backyard. I set up my camera and took lots of pictures, and even a video.
It was great to watch their progress every day. The white in the nest is my cat's fur. He pulled his mats out in the backyard, and Mama Hummingbird liked them just fine.
It was a real challenge to shoot these pictures. The camera had to face west into the sun and then focus tightly on a moving tree branch.  I learned a lot!
