Good evening, Earnest,

@Ricardo: Thanks, Ricardo. I can read and understand a great deal of Spanish but since I never use it verbally I probably converse on the level of a four year old! This is a new word for me that I'll remember. I have a couple more photos coming up that are named for you.

Lovely photo. Beautiful light and your colors are always so bright.
So, that is a little bird! It is so small, I thought that it is some insect.
Have a nice weekend!

Great timing Earnest! It looks like some kind of humming bird the way it's hovering around the flower. Really fantastic photo.

@Monique: Yes it is a rubythroated hummingbird. (female)
The Dark Dude from Maestoso, United Kingdom
hey dude
man, either this rubythroated hummingbird is either kinda petite, or that thistle is kinda humungous...
nice shot
