Did I Just See What I Thought I Just Saw?

"Did I Just See What I Thought I Just Saw?"  Photo by Judy Royal Glenn

Click on the photo for a closer view.


I went back to the Botanical Garden yesterday!  I spent a couple hours taking photos of the hummingbirds again.

As I was taking pictures, I thought I saw one stick out his tongue!  Did I just see what I thought I just saw?  I kept my camera focused and took tons of pictures hoping I would catch him doing it again.

Click, click, click....sure enough, he stuck his tongue out again!

This was his favorite place to land, so I made sure I had my camera ready.  He must have landed here a dozen times!

I was excited to get so many shots!  I had a few more but did not want to post them because they were not focused very well.  I again prayed before I went out, and I am thankful He provided so many neat adventures.  I have a few more new stories and photos from this day to post later!!

    I dare say you got some raspberries, they were trying to tell you something.

    TOO cute.

    Ok, I have to admit...I had to look up "hummingbird tongues" to make sure he didn't just have something in his mouth! I had no idea they had tongues that long. Amazing pics!

    This is a new one to me! I wouldn't have known they had tongues like that.

    Amazing and beautiful! What kind of camera did you use to get such good close ups of one so tiny? Thanks for sharing.

    These are amazing photos, I've never seen anything like them!!! I thought they only stuck out their tongues when they were getting nectar.

    I use a Pentax K-7 digital SLR. The key is my 80-320 lense! I love it. It lets me zoom in real close. Plus, I knew where the bird was going to land, so I was only 10 feet away. When editing, I also crop so the bird looks larger! Thanks for all the visits!
