Great set of images today, Packrat. And how incredibly lucky to get the hummingbird's image several times.
It's a shame there's a tower on Tortugas (for several reasons), because your final image would be great if the tower weren't in the frame. PhotoShop anyone?
Great photos!
Scott:
There is a tower atop Tortugas, but that's not it. What you're seeing there is the flowerless stalk of a Soaptree Yucca.
I appreciate the compliment on the images. I was indeed lucky to photograph that hummingbird.
Caroline:
Thanks! Hope all is well in San Francisco.
Those photos of the hummingbird are amazing.
