I'm milking the lantana flowers at my honey hole as you can see..
The Orchard Oriole female (yellow) would've been great rather than the common House Finch of course.. "but if you try sometimes, you get what you need"enlightened
F/11, 1/4000th, ISO 1250 @ 600mm around 10:00am yesterday..

Thanx for lookin' & have a great weekenddevil

Nice job on the exposure , Howard.  it's tough to get yellow flowers that aren't completely oversaturated and still get anything else properly exposed.  This works very nicely.  Great landing pose on the finch.

Nice timing on this landing image Howard. That spot seems to be paying off for you.

Hi Howard

Some times when you find a good spot to take photographs, it's ok to milk it.  Nice stop action and detail.
