Sounds Of Summer

My attention was focused on wildflowers when I heard the familiar buzzing sound of a hummingbird's wings. We haven't seen too many this year for some reason.

I had to go with my camera settings as they were because I didn't have time for adjustment. Basically point and shoot. I think I did focus because the bird is reasonably sharp. Despite that I'm happy to have caught the action and the slow-ish shutter speed shows the wings beating, giving a sense of movement.

At least there is some contrasting light behind the bird, although I did have lift the shadows somewhat.
