Anna's Hummingbird 0604 - a photo on Flickriver

            I had seen "What's in Bloom at Ruth Bancroft Garden" for July 2022 and of the 22 flowers that were listed, I had photographed all but one last July. It's hot and muggy today, and I have more excuses not to do something than a compulsion to do something ... so ... maybe there were a few flowers that don't bloom the whole month and aren't in the newsletter or video. Besides, maybe I could improve on what I did take last year.

Well, there were two new ones, one that I can't ID and one that's has three five-inch red and orange flowers grouped together. I only managed two when I looked to my right, and there was an Anna's hummingbird sitting on a leaf of an agave. And he stayed. Before I knew it, I had 24 photos, and I knew that some had to be in focus, and one where he turned just so that his gorget lit. Not the whole gorget, but I'm happy.
