I loved Bobby Darin too; as for Sandra Dee ... I see her everywhere, even today. Multiplication; Come September, Gina... why do folks do this to me on a bad day?

Never would I second guess you Glenn, yet that one water droplet at the base of the hummer's beak creates a subliminal second eye...maybe take a look at the sense of balance and rightness with that one droplet healed out...as usual, what a terrific shot .

Makes me want to delete all my ho-hum hummingbird images.

Indeed ... but in addition you have stepped it up a level by bringing in a popular song!

Thanks for sharing.

You really have digged deeply into your subject,
with planning and investing some serious effort.
Great to see such results!
