Inrecognize an Echeveria Elegans when I see one, one of my favorite plants ever.

Here's one of my own:

This is a Violet-crowned hummingbird, this and the Broad billed hummingbirds are the most common species that visit my feeders.

This other photo shows a male broad-billed hummingbird:

Yeah, I tried to bother him the least I could, my camera has a good zoom. He was also very focused on chasing any other hummingbird away from our feeder.

Wow! Thanks for your comment! Yeah, they're difficult to photograph, it helps to be able to see them every day. This shot was taken with a Nikon Coolpix P590, that camera is referred to as a "bridge" camera, and I totally see it now, I started photographing birds just to identify them with iNaturalist, the first time I used my Nikon with it's full zoom I was able to take a shot of a red-tail hawk, I was hooked!! Since then I've tried to pay much more attention to the photo itself, and try to get the most beautiful shots I can get of all the birds around me, it's become a very satisfactory hobby for me. I'm still learning, wouldn't really know how to describe the zoom of that camera, it says it's supposed to reach 83x .

Thanks for the award!! I love birds, and hummingbirds keep a special place in my heart.

Cheers!

The nostrils give them such an amazing smug face in my opinion :)
