Wow, Betty... This is soooo cute and adorable. Great capture of this sweet and pretty hummingbird taking a shower in the rain. F/V

I like your comment about connecting with the hummingbird and their sense of joy. I think that is why I love photogrpahy, because it allows me to not just witness these moments, but that I get a sense of wonder and so much joy myself. And a great photo like this lets others experience that, too. Pretty special all around.

Andrea, you are so right. When sitting on my patio watching birds through the lens, I've learned so much about their behavior. The tenderness of two mourning doves, leaning their heads together. Their own form of bird love. I've watched male Cardinals court their females by feeding them. It is truly amazing.

This is absolutely adorable! What a great shot!
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Andrea! What makes us connect with an image like this is this tiny, tiny creature seems to have human reactions, such as utter joy!
