    Talking Couldn't resist

    Hey folks, I sat on the deck yesterday for a little while and found out that if you sit there long enuf and have a bunch of patience, you can get some of these. Hope you enjoy these.

    Awesome shots

    That's why I envy you at times, I see humming birds every once in a great while, to much building, done ran them off, those are great shots.

    Oh how I miss the mountains.

    Great shots Charlie!! Mind going over the settings you were using? I tried viewing the picture EXIF data, but for some reason, it isn't allowing me to.

    They were less than 10' from me. All I did was sit in the lawn chair with a beer and my camera, and wait for the fun.

    Thank you Gene

    I wish I could take some wave pics tho, but in the meantime, I guess flowers and hummingbirds will just have to do. I should post some flower pics just cuz.
