"Look at the Birds"

I have read that trying to photograph hummingbirds is one of the more challenging tasks in photography. They are extremely quick and they do not stay in one spot very long. It must be that "metabolism of a hummingbird thing." With camera and tripod in hand I set off to capture these little guys in action. The little hummer on the right is one I met outside our door at our little cottage in Loma Linda. There is something therapeutic in visitations from birds. Being drawn to their songs, their chattering and constant activity are reminders of what means to "Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?"
