I made these photos early this evening just after we had watched a little hummingbird visit some phlox. My camera and telephoto lens were in the house and I was a bit disappointed I didn't capture it. I decided to stay near the trumpet vine in case he returned. Well, it wasn't the same one, but another made a quick visit for his last nectar of the evening and I got my first capture of a hummingbird. I can't say I'm totally happy with the quality of the shot, and I do intend to try again, but I thought I'd share this one. I'll need one of those blogger flower experts to help identify the flower in the first photo.
