Freddy, this is so pretty! Love the hummmingbird with the pretty flowers.....did you use a tripod and settings? I am still trying to get a picture...Mine are always blurry.

Thank you so much, Shelly!! I did use a tripod. I find it difficult to capture fast moving things and I'm still fighting blurry images, too. I had the settings at f/4.5 and the shutter speed at 1/500 sec. Sometimes I just get lucky.
