Beautiful, Connie. And a background to die for!
Please tell us more about the water bubbles?

Hi Rassie, and your images, too, were lovely. The background is a result of the lens, a f/5.6 and the distance from the camera to the subject and the subject to the background so I can't take credit for it, it just seems to be the combination of perfect distances to blend the background out. The water is coming from a very small solar water pump with several filters to put over it that control the water output. The current one, the bubble one, seems to be the one they like, they ignored the other settings.
Couple of beautiful shots, Connie. The first one is really unique. Well done.
Thanks, I have so many hummer shots and wanted something different. Hopefully I'll get a few more.
What solar water pump are you using? I have been looking for one.

Fantastic, Connie!! Especially like the first one, she looks so happy to be playing in the water!
Way too good that first shot. Nice! Both shots are beautiful!
I got this at Lowe's but it was the same thing I saw online, $20. Just a solar disk that goes in the water bath. If a cloud goes over it stops...so put in the sunniest spot near the feeder. First I tried the flat filters, more of a sprinkler effect, but the hummers did not go near it. Then I put in a tube filter and that was the bubble one and they started using it.

I think she was happy, it gets hot where I live, around 95 these days.
Thank you, the hummers provide good entertainment and keep my photo finger working!
Awesome job on these and love the water drops!!!
Thank you, hoping to get more, maybe a bigger water drop in the open mouth...

Beautiful shots, beautiful birds Connie.
Very creative Connie! Love them!
Thank you, still trying to get more shots as it takes a lot of shots to get one good one.
