The shrill tinkle of humming birds fill the early evening air around a nectar pot. As swift as they are tiny, the petite birds flit around like little fairies in the sky.

@Fallenargo: That was a bonus find for me when I downloaded the pictures. The majority of the pictures I shot that day of the birds were all translucent because they were moving so fast.
@Rui Borges: Thank you. The secret is patience! I shot dozens of shots, most of which were too blurry to save. This was one of the few that were even halfway decent.
@Jen: I wish I could take credit for the colors of the sky, but that was all Mother Nature's doing.
