A female bathing....
Got you mens attention :razz: Set up my camera for the hummers morning ablutions. I got 50-60 frames of this little female thoroughly enjoying her bath time. Gonna post seven or so of them for your enjoyment. They are so entertaining and don't mind the camera at all.

Great stuff, Pam. I don't think I've ever seen a hummer "relax".

Thanks Pam, great series. I love to watch them but for some reason we have many less hummers this year than last year.

Great series of shots. They are such marvelous birds.

Just wonderful, Pam! I also love to photograph these little critters but, like Bill, we have had many fewer hummers this year than in the past.

That looks like a ton of fun! Great shots! Your bubbling fountain looks like a perfect bath tub for them!

Yeah, got my attention!

Great shots Pam! Must have been a lot of fun watching, too!

Love the intimate views. Very nice series. :smile:

What a wonderful series!
Having that shadow back there helps define the bird so very well.

Glad you saved some $$$ on the third party batteries! This photography stuff is expensive enough without having to pay extortionate prices for 'branded' gear.
