This past weekend has been the first time I've had a chance to play with the Hummers since late Spring.
All I've seen this summer is this pair of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds coming to the feeder.  They're pretty active and playful and fun to watch.  The female was taken with the Sony a6000 with a Rokinon 500mm/f6.3 mirror lens. The male was also taken with the Sony and the kit lens 55 to 210 zoom.  Hope to get more time with these two before they start migrating south. 

Here are some images from Yosemite National Park, White Sands National Monument, Grand Canyon National Park, and The Missions of San Antonio, Texas to celebrate the National Park Service's 100th. Anniversary. So thankful for the service of the Park Rangers, and staff of the National Park Service.

Here's a quick tip on creating vignettes with different colors instead of the standard black or white or shades of grey.  I got this from Kathleen Clemons Creative Live class.  Visit her website at www.kathleenclemonsphotography.com
