I was surprised to see this hummingbird take a rest on a support cable. I posted this picture as I was surprised and happy with how the background turned out. About 20 feet behind the hummingbird is solid bush of spruce, tamarack and some poplar trees.

Gorgeous in every detail, Debra. I love the simplicity of the scene with the unusual and beautiful bokeh. That little hummer truly is the star of the show here.. the focus and composition are spot on.

Lovely, Debra. I love how the line is diagonal across the photo. Adds more interest.

I was taking another glance at some images taken in around the same area as this image and realized that the purple in the background is probably coming from a purple/blue clematis vine in the area before three trees.
