The other day, I went outside to sit with my camera. Just in case something interesting presented itself. I focused on the zinnias that are finally blooming from the seeds I planted months ago.
Right after taking that photo, the camera still held to my eye, something interesting happened.
A Broad-tailed Hummingbird flew into the frame! Fortunately, the camera speed was fairly high and, four images later, I captured this which was the best of the bunch:
In that brief span of time, all felt right with me and the world. Thank you, little Miss Hummingbird, for the gift of your presence.

What a treat, Tracy! We just put up our hummingbird feeder yesterday. Hope a few stop by when they begin to migrate through.

It truly did feel like a ginormous gift from the universe to have that hummingbird fly into the frame, esp because I’ve struggled for years to capture a decent hummingbird image.

Spectacular captures. Another reason for contemplative observation in nature; with one’s camera at the ready, of course!

Only this day, I was thinking of zinnias, and how they remind me of precious souls, and how I wish I’d planted zinnias. For that memory, thank you!
