View Around My Temporary Dwelling
My Hummingbird
If you look really close, you would see a hummingbird by these purple flowers branch. It was the only decent photo of the hummingbird that I stalked after every chance I had. It teased me mercilessly the entire time I was there.
These purple flowers grew against a white wall in my sister's backyard, and they attracted these hummingbirds.
The View Around My Dwelling
Since my daily routine was messed up, I went to snap photos of where I was! Jet lag and exhausted with fragmented sleep, I didn't feel very together. Time was also limited so I didn't get to see much of Santa Barbara as we had originally planned.
When we traveled with a group of people, the best thing for all of us to do was to be absolutely and completely adjustable to everyone else's schedule too.

I see it clearly, beautiful Icy, I can see we have similar flowers here :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. Hummingbirds are so vibrant and lovely.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a hummingbird must be wonderful. I've never been lucky enough.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well capturing the humming bird. I believe they are very fast. I can't even get a photo of a bird sitting still. Maybe capture is the wrong word to use.
ReplyDeleteI've tried capturing those hummingbirds before so I spotted it with now problem. Santa Barbara is a lovely spot to visit. Have a great week...
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to get a shot of a hummingbird. I can see him. Good job. Santa Barbara looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHummingbirds are so difficult to photography, you did a great job:)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. Hummingbirds are hard to capture on film! Well done! Cathy
ReplyDeleteVery pretty views! Pretty mosaic, looks like a lovely place to be!
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo, I do see the hummingbird! Your patience was rewarded!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a fabulous capture! I have never been able to photograph a hummingbird. Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job. The photos are delightful.
ReplyDeleteFun to catch a hummingbird! Laura
ReplyDeleteI see the hummingbird. I say they are as elusive as the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteIf you had stayed until this weekend in Santa Barbara, you would have seen their Orchid Show.
You did very well to capture this hummer. (I'm ashamed to confess how long it took me to see him...I kept looking at the purple picture higher up and trying to make that a hummer. Ridiculous!) Looks like a beautiful location that you were visiting. That you didn't have time to look around more only means that you must return.
ReplyDeleteI know how difficult it can be to get a Hummingbird photo - they move so fast!
ReplyDeleteI like your photo. The Hummingbird is so cute with the purple flowers!
Happy Macro Monday!

As quick as the hummingbird is you have to stalk them to get a good shot.
ReplyDeleteVery nice done!
Lovely that the white wall was there to make everything pop!
We are always helpless when facing these feathered friends.
ReplyDeletesmiling here thinking of you being teased mercilessly....haha, that is one beautiful photo worth all the teasing...those purple flowers are adorable, any creature would be drawn to them :-)
ReplyDeleteIcy, I do see it and he is so cute. I have never been able to capture a hummingbird on camera. They are was too quick and with their wings endlessly flapping it's difficult so this is a treat. What beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so difficult to catch a hummingbird in a photo. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice picture, I.B.C. Some of the neighbors here get hummng birds for a short stay but not us. We don't have a home for them.
ReplyDeleteBirds not sitting on a wire or in a tree are next hardest to photograph right after lightening strikes.
..
Very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
I can see your hummingbird - it's very tiny. The purple of those flowers looks wonderful against the white wall.
ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird is adorable and you captured him beautifully with the purple flowers!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite impressed. I've never been able to capture a hummingbird.
ReplyDeleteI'm always jealous of the beautiful plants that grow in California. Wish I was there soaking up the sunshine. Pretty amazing shot of the hummingbird.
ReplyDeleteIt is never easy to take pictures of hummingbirds, I would imagine...
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see that sweet hummer. I love them and your iimages are so pretty. Have a Happy week!
ReplyDeleteYou have photographed the little bird very well, lovely pictures...
ReplyDeleteGreeting Karin
I have tried desperately to capture a hummingbird with my camera. I suppose it will always be my challenge -- and we all need a challenge! Bravo!
ReplyDeletegood catch ! it was so tiny, I almost wondered where it was !
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. You really captured the color nicely.
