The hummer is so clean and the framing with the fence and trumpet vine is wonderful.

That is an amazing photo Pianolady! I tried (in vain!) to get a single shot of my Hummers this year. They are so quick!
That is also a beautiful Trumpet Vine.

 Great Piccie!!!!  I love seeing photographs of hummingbirds. Maybe someday I'll actually get to see one 'in the flesh' for myself.

Thats a wonderful shot of the hummingbird. They're very quick and usually hard to capture for pictures.
Your trumpet vine is very pretty.

Absolutely lovely, and sooo perfect, with it's tiny little beak, tail and feet so sharp.

Thanks all (on his behalf)! His obsession to get the perfect pic has proved we MUST upgrade to a digital SLR camera someday, LOL. All those rolls of film.....Ugh.
