a hummingbird in colonia del sacramento

I don’t get the opportunity to capture a hummingbird very often. They are chaotic little creatures. But this beautiful little hummingbird was flitting around the flowers (shown below) on the trees in the courtyard of Posada Plaza Mayor in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, and then… just stopped and posed for a bit. Even as I walked around below, she just sat there. Sometimes, you get lucky.

    1. Very cool. Hard to get anywhere. We’ve had a few that admired our flowers or our colorful outfits.
