Jesus Saves!
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge I Saw this going down the highway today. I thought to myself how incredibly American this was. There's a lot going on here. There were about 25 cars trapped behind this wagon by the double yellow line. Lots of honking horns. God I love this country! |

Photo Bomb!
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge The hummingbirds are thick. When I first saw this photo, I skipped over it. I do take a few test exposures, and I am not sure if this is one of those. But after closer inspection, I found that "someone" was trying to sneak into the frame. Hummingbird! |

Accidental Friend
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge While I was on patrol, searching for a photo, I came across this little girl. I had found what I thought would be todays photo, and I was setting up to start shooting. But this cute little Border Collie came over to the fence, and she was so persistent that I had to pay attention to her. She gives good kisses! |

Men At Work - March 13, Make-Up Photo
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge I photographed this during lunch today, a little Greek take-out stand in Redding. I'm always interested in what other people do for a living. I don't actually even know that these are "men" at work. They could certainly be women. I wonder how much education it takes to do a job like this. I wonder how much it pays. |

Today's Hummingbird
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge Today, I have tried to restrict my photo journey to my porch. The hummingbirds are a constant pleasure, and photographing them is a constant frustration. I have gone through a period in the past few days in which my hummingbird photos have taken a nosedive. This has coincided with me learning to use a new speedlite. Baby learning steps each day. I hope you like today's bird. I think it's a male Anna's Hummingbird. |

Attack Hummer (Make-Up Photo)
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge Because of my surgery this year, I have missed 4 photos. This is being posted as a make-up photo for one of those photos. I hope to do one photo representing each day of this year. March 8, was the first photo I missed, so this is intended as a make-up for that date. This hummingbird has a piece of head-feather (from another bird) in its beak. Hummingbirds are apparently very competitive, and they will attempt to chase other hummingbirds away sometimes. This particular bird was being very aggressive. I didn't notice the feather until I uploaded the photo. |

Today's Hummingbird
 |
| Click Photo to Enlarge I am still trying new things when it comes to photographing hummingbirds. This was shot using my new speedlight. In order to stop this little bird's wings, my speedlite was set to 1/64 power, which is as fast as this light goes. I had to place the light about 1 1/2 feet away from the bird. Because I find hummingbirds so fascinating, and because I can't get around much right now, expect to see more photos of hummingbirds. |
