The Harrowing Hummingbird Adventure

I had the great fun of getting to chase a hummingbird around my yard, and climbing through bushes and plants, being poked by twigs, and feeling like some sort of stalker paparazzi at my own house, tucked back in a corner within the bushes with my camera.

I happened to be walking around the yard, with my camera, as I will sometimes to do, for particularly since I enjoy conceptual photography, one never knows just what they might stumble upon, and I happened to encounter this hummingbird.

It proved to be remarkably docile (for lack of a better word) it came to land upon a branch within a bush only a couple feet away from me, and seemed not the least bothered by my presence, and would let me get quite close, it was as if it knew that I posed no threat and did nod intend the least bit of harm, so I could not pass up the opportunity. I decided to try and get some photos and that is when it decided it would be fun to taunt me.

It would sit perfectly still and let me come right up close to it, and than the very moment I had my camera ready it would take off, and kept flitting back and forth between trees and bushes in the yard, would perch, wait for me to get close, and than go back the other way again.

Finally it decided most generously to give me a photo opp and allow me to take some pictures of it, and than it was really cool, once it had enough and was done modeling for the day it took off, and stopped when it was up in the air on the other side of the street, turned around hovering so it was looking at me, and so I waved, and right after I waved it turned around and zipped off.

So here are my best shots:
