Looks chilly.

[nanila]

Yes. It's been foggy and breezy for most of my time here.

Love this!

[nanila]

Thank you!

[cha_mel_eon]

Very cute!

[nanila]

I miss hummingbirds. They need to import themselves to Europe. 🤣

[purplecthulhu]

Not sure they'd like the winters. Hope things are going well over there!

[calissa]

Pretty friend! I'm impressed you managed to capture it against that white background.

[nanila]

Thank you! I usually leave my dSLR on aperture-only adjustment, but that decidedly did not work here. Thankfully birb!fren sat still long enough for me to optimise manually.

[calissa]

How considerate!

[cmcmck]

Awwww! :o)

[nanila]

They are very cute, and this one was all fluffed out against the chilly breeze, thus even cuter.

Great shot!

[nanila]

Thank you!

[forests_of_fire]

oh, what a beauty!

[nanila]

Isn't it? So tiny! So perfect!

Hello fren.

[nanila]

Such a sweet little fren!

[lurkingcat]

Is definitely fren-shaped.

That's a lovely shot.

[nanila]

Thank you!

BIRB BIRB BIRB! :D

[nanila]

YES ❤❤❤

[pbristow]

Awww! =:o]

[nanila]

Yes indeed!

[hamsterwoman]

Aww! (I'm not sure I've ever seen a non-blurry hummingbird before XD It looks so cute!)

[nanila]

I did take a good number of blurry and too-dark photos before I got the exposure right, heh!

[lorigami]

what a cute fren!

[nanila]

Yes! :)

[sfred]

Beautiful!

[nanila]

I love watching them. We saw one on a walk that was bobbing between hibiscus blossoms, sipping carefully from each.

[kirundo]

Wow! I've never seen one before, not even in a zoo I think...

[nanila]

They are tiiiny, and they don't sit still very often, so getting to photograph one at rest is a real treat! :)

[kirundo]

True and well done you!!! :) I still have to figure out the settings to get birds cristal clear mid flight, the new camera has way too many options!
