THE FLIGHT OF A HUMMER
I always said that I would rather be lucky than good! Whilst making frames in my workshop, I noticed this humming bird feeding on the lantana. Like most wild game and birds, this one was intent of feeding and I was able to move up close enough to make this image.
The trick is having the patience to get close enough without spooking the bird. Just fun shots that I cropped pretty tightly. The images were made in Cayce, SC in 2006 in the early afternoon.
I do make my own frames from exotic and fine woods. Flat and broad frames which show considerable grain that compliment the image and matt that I am going to choose. I use mostly fine walnuts and oak, while refinishing antique frames consistent with the images I use. Expensive of course, but signed and dated for the discriminating collector of fine goods.

This is a great shot, Skip. My lantana is puny right now, but maybe one day we'll have plenty of hummingbirds and butterflies flitting through the yard because of it.
