That's definitely not an easy task as they are so quick. Even though I love all the pentas colors, but red is my favorite. My daughter and I caught sight of one on our fruit cocktail shrimp plant and then he hopped over to the tangerine shrimp. It's always a delight to see them in the garden.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-57655520441418137152011-06-02T09:06:19.466-04:002011-06-02T09:06:19.466-04:00Meems-I think your photos are pretty darn good.Yar...Meems-I think your photos are pretty darn good.YardBoy caught some good shots of a hummer at our feeder,but he has the patience to sit there for over an hour,just to catch that one shot.I just can't do that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302610545871593886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-10468402667064558462011-06-02T07:47:13.465-04:002011-06-02T07:47:13.465-04:00WG,
