4 GARDEN GEM

I often walk around Blackie Spit, a popular birdwatching site in British Columbia, Canada. Early one morning I decided to stroll a bit further than usual along the nature trail and visit Dunsmuir Community Garden. Upon my arrival I saw this female Anna’s hummingbird on a purple allium. These amazing flying machines move so quickly I had to use a fast shutter speed and a long lens to take this photo. Wilma McKenzie, British Columbia, Canada
