Merry Christmas!

Since I am in the Southwest of the US at this time of year I decided to stray from the traditional Northern Cardinal Christmas greeting card and use something in my current environment. Here are my best wishes with an Anna's Hummingbird I photographed this last spring in Cave Creek, AZ.

I hope you all have a great Christmas season and a wonderful New Year - Go Northwestern, beat Auburn!

Comments and suggestions taken seriously and appreciated.

That is a gorgeous image of this hummer really showing off the gorget. Love how it is looking at the camera and how you have frozen the wing movement.
