'Hovering over Food'
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this may be a "Female Black-chinned Hummingbird" [Archilochus alexandri]. See link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-chinned_Hummingbird
Other photos from this 'session' are in http://kianta.smugmug.com/gallery/7865396_mjPg8#509871955_v2jb3
I will continue to work on 'stopping' hummingbird's wings in mid-air as it did not happen on this day. I was thinking that at least I would need to up the shutter speed (and film speed as well depending on the lens) OR perhaps I'd need a fast strobe flash combined with a small aperture (enabling the use of a slower ISO 100-400 film speed) - any suggestions?](http://kianta.smugmug.com/Photo-A-Day/109-Days-of-Daily-Photos/KIS9729-Hummingbird-032509/499113338_FNSf2-Ti.jpg "kianta > 27Mar2009 - Day 86

'Hummingbird No. 2' - 'Rufous Hummingbird' [Selasphorus rufus]
This little hummer was so quick that I could not get a good second shot off before it flew away. I just may have to 'station' myself next to these flowers and wait for a second appearance.
Thanks for identifying this as 'Rufous Hummingbird'! You all are awesome!](http://kianta.smugmug.com/Photo-A-Day/109-Days-of-Daily-Photos/IS10181-Hummingbird-II/512130769_PZDU6-Ti.jpg "kianta > 14Apr2009 - Day 104

'And now for something completely different': Welcome to the blank landscape that is my mind this evening. {Sorry to debase a Monty Python line!}
Posting this from Sunday's walk at the local 'Open Space'. I am already looking forward to the weekend and am planning on having some quality time with the camera. There is considerable hope that photo ops [with at least one interesting detail (per photo) compared to this empty landcape] will be presenting themselves this weekend.](http://kianta.smugmug.com/Photo-A-Day/109-Days-of-Daily-Photos/KIS7075-Open-space/455180032_3LLpK-Ti.jpg "kianta > 15Jan2009 - Day 15
