Hey Robin! LoL! So kind of you to offer to share your white powdery beauty with me if you could . . . after all . . . it's the thought that counts! If I had the money . . . I'd mail you a hummingbird!! LoL! That would likely tick the lil guy off!!! :)

Heeeey, I just now saw this. If I didn't know any better I would think this was directed (almost dedicated)at SOMEONE in particular! Of course, the first line in your about DOES say "for ALL you UFers" which lets you off the hook...nah, I know you! You are SO baaaaaad!
If I could afford to hire someone to come in and cover your yard with snow while you were sleeping, I would do it in a New York minute! I'd have to enlist Marlyce's help though, someone would have to capture that priceless moment...oh, what I would give to be independently wealthy for just a little while!!! (Hi Doyle!)
BTW...great shot of your new pal.
Hehehe...Robin

Thanks Michele . . . we have the Summer season . . . the fire season . . . the flood season . . . and back to the summer season. The floods usually end the fires. Two BIGGO fires yesterday . . . but nothing threatening us! Still - flood season is a'comin'! We had some sprinkles a couple of weeks ago and (I swear) . . . the news weather had a "Stormwatch" graphic!!! Insane population here . . . and . . . uhhhhhhhh . . . I assume that doesn't (necessarily) include me!! LoL! And local UFer Lisa Greget is exempt 'cause she's kinda' cool. (Hi Lisa!)

Hi Doyle ,
The weather report is ......C~a~Razy ~ but this image is very good. The little vibrating bird soooo C L E A R .. A+ for clarity. The DOF so oooo nice .. and the point of view 'Clarified'. A lovely composition full of wonderful Ca. Sun.. and color red. Excellent shot my friend.
Regards, Michele~

Thanks Jessie . . . these cactus florals are at the end of my driveway. Apparently . . . the little guy more or less waits for me to arrive home from work as a sheduled feeding time (one of many) and his ruby-throated friend has avoided me very well whenever I have my camera. I suspect he comes by VERY frequently . . . but somewhat routinely. They NEVER seem to show while I wait for them . . . but they're in NO hurry to leave if I find them there already. :)
Hmmmmmmm . . . naughty? Moi? Heheheheee. Yep!

Thanks Ray . . . my comment to Robin and this shot are kinda' like bookends on a 'Life' POV. Every negative has a positive and vica versa. Besides . . . as I pointed out . . . I confess to being baaaaaad . . . but my lifestyle POV is to find the good in every opportunity and . . . uhhhhhhh . . . well . . . to just enjoy the ever-lovin' HECK outta' life! Besides . . . as the King of Cool . . . I have weekends off and I am my own boss . . . how cool is that?? :)

Thanks Lisa! Shhhhhh . . . we have a 'Summer' image to maintain! And it WAS so warm last night we had a B-B-Q in the dark under the Christmas lights (Marlyce put Christmas lights on her cactus - LoL!). Appreciate the comment. We went to San Pedro to shoot the Boat Christmas Parade . . . whew - what a challenge! Hoping all is well with you my friend!

I read your comments to Robin....you's just plain wicked boy . I left my 'commiserations' to you against Robin's posting. I'm still sobbing my heart out for you my dear Doyle, goodness knows how long it will take for me to get over the shock of those aweful adverse weather conditions you have to put up with at this time of year
Another lovely shot of a hummer with beak and tongue inserted in the beauty of that flower. Amazing capture of the wing movements which are still a blur even at 1/500. Great field of view in this shallow dof study. Well done, take care of you, 'see' you again soon. My very best wishes as always to you and Marlyce.......Ray:)

Doesn't seem like summer at all or anything close to it other than the cold nights which is a warm day for most states.
What a great shot. I love the colors and the DOF. What a great shot of this hummingbird.

Oh thanks Bek! You may be right about him waiting - we bribe him with flowers and hummingbird feeders. He now makes us a regular stop. AND . . . he has a nervous friend . . . a ruby-throated hummingbird who apparently feels no need to pose (yet)!!! Thanks for commenting!! :)

This little hummer is becoming a regular here on UF Doyle!!! I think he waits for your car to pull up and puts on a show for your camera...lucky you! We have no snow either, but you never can tell...the weather has been crazy over here lately. cheers, Bek
