241- Hummingbird Dilemma

Thanksgiving Point gardens draw sweet little hummingbird. As we toured the gardens we saw several but they were always to fast for me. As we returned to the *club house* an adventurous little soul came right up to this big, sweet pot of blossoms and started sipping.



I had on my standard 18-55mm lens so I do have zoom capabilities, but I was surprised with how close she let me move in.



I also keep my camera set on burst mode so I was able to get lots of good shots of her selecting the sweetest nectar these beautiful flowers had to offer.



Then all of a sudden she jerked into hyper-reverse-lift... I wasn't approaching any more... what had spooked her?



I see her dilemma! And she was having NOTHING to do with this *ill tempered-rodent* wasp. Can't say that I blame her in the least.
