Flight of the Hummingbird

Things are still humming in our backyard as the hummingbirds

prepare to migrate south to Mexico, Central America

and South America. I caught this one in midair

by using a very fast shutter speed.

Janet said...: Thank you, Adriann. This is actually the first hummingbird that I have ever caught on camera! It helps having a feeder right out the window.; September 25, 2012 at 8:54 PM

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
