Swede’s Photographs

Peaceful Moment

Sometimes, the light hits just perfectly. This is a female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), and she seems to be pausing briefly to bask in the sun. Of course, it’s probably less of a pause and more of a fleeting moment—these tiny creatures rarely stay still for long. While I often capture photos around my hummingbird feeders, I especially treasure opportunities like this, when I can photograph them in more natural settings. This particular shot was taken just a few days ago. In addition to nectar, these birds also feed on small insects.

You know, the photographs I post here are not as vivid as the same ones in my Pixel's gallery. This is because I reduce the size and slightly decrease the quality of the photos to make them easier to load. Take a look:

"The image captures a striking ruby-throated hummingbird perched delicately on a slim branch. Its underside is white, while its back shimmers with green hues, creating a beautiful contrast. The bird's long, slender beak is perfect for sipping nectar. Around it, green leaves add to the natural setting, and the softly blurred background helps draw attention to the bird and its vibrant details. It's a wonderful moment that highlights the elegance and charm of this tiny creature!" - Copilot

A little more fun with the TTArtisan Mirror Lens. I love the effect it has on the gold grasses, the sand and the trees although it probably doesn't show itself well on a small screen.

By the way, these ducks and I are building a pretty strong rapport, so expect to see more (and hopefully interesting) photos of them in the future. 😀

Horizontal frame. Two ducks posing on the sand about 1/4 from the bottom of the frame. To the left is a white hybrid and to the right is a Mallard. Both are looking to the right. Behind them golden grasses curl into rings beautifully as this is an effect of the “donut bokeh” lens used. In the distance are green pines.
