We sure do have some talented photographers here. I especially like the tomato leaf in the foreground.

I second GardenGuyKin, this photo just made my evening! I love hummingbirds and you captured this one wonderfully. And the stunning red canna flowers are such a great contrast to her.

Love it!
I keep increasing my cannas in the garden just for this reason. Hummers just love them and canna is so easy to grow from seed and bloom the first year.
