Description

A female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird takes a drink.
What started out as a failed day of fishing with an old high school friend I hadn't seen in 20 years,ended with this image.
While fishing we got onto the subject of my photography. I said to him that I was still learning but started to set goals for myself. I told him that my goal that summer had been to take a decent shot of a Hummingbird, but unfortunately it was the end of August and I was running out of time. He looked shocked and asked me if I was kidding. I said no, then he went on to tell me about his back yard and how there were hummingbirds everywhere. He asked if I wanted to grab my gear and give it a shot. He wasn't kidding. They were everywhere. This is the result. You never know what each day will bring, or how much of a turn that day may take.
