It is always nice to get out and enjoy nature. Its so necessary for my mental health even if its just for a couple of hours. I had to work for this image. I observed a humming bird flying from thistle plant to thistle plant. Of course it would dart away if I moved towards it at all, so I decided to sit in the grass well below the height of the thistle blooms and practice some patience. This was one of the only images I could get of the hummingbird's eye...most of my images are from the back. The patience and work paid off and I was rewarded with an image.
