Crucified
A hummingbird was hovering above me going through its yoga positions while I was out walking on the levee. The specks in the images are swarms of gnats or little flies that the hummingbird is feeding on.

Flutter me, Freddie
Look, mama! No Wings!
Multiple shots of one hummingbird hovering in front of me on the levee. I get a shot, it moves out of the view of my lens and hovers. I try to move with the hummingbird, focus, and click before it changes direction again. I think it’s a game to the hummingbird to hover and move in and out of my field-of-view.
A hummer flew above the clouds
Surveyed life below
Back and forth, up and down
Erratic movements buzzed
Paused against gray sky’s hold
Suspended looking down
Next instant released
Fell into a frolic
Rummaged through the weeds
