A sunset, hummingbirds, and fawns! (dial up beware)

These were all taken with my "el cheapo" camera. I can't wait for Justin to get home so I can actually use our good camera. I didn't think they came out too bad though!

AWESOME shots!!!
Catching a hummingbird sitting still is no easy task.

Your sunset rocks as well!

They perch on the wire outside my window like clockwork all day long. My cam just ain't good enough for that kinda stuff.
You done real good with those pics!

I was blown away with how close they were letting me get to them. I may try holding the feeder tomorrow and see if they will drink from it.

Gonna be hard to be the photographer though.

Awesome. Looks like a juvenile hummer. That one should be on his way south soon!

Those actually aren't that bad for an "el cheapo" camera.

AWESOME Alisha. Those are great shots. I was trying to get good cloe-ups of hummers all summer and couldn't pull it off.
Ya done good.

Awesome shots Alisha! Gotta love hummingbirds, they sure are hyper little buggers!

The H-birds around here are grouping up and getting ready to head south. We go through about a gallon of food per day. Nice to see them come, and nice to see them go as well.
