Thanks for the compliments. FngKestrel, my camera is an Olympus C-50 Zoom. Falls short in a few key areas for serious photography, but it works for my uses. Dano, that is ice on the rose. Was taken after an early freeze 2 years ago. Have a few other pics with flowers frozen like that somewhere. Dunno where.
The hummingbird was actually fairly easy to get. During late summer around my families cabin the young leave the nest. So lots of birds, they are young and tame. They will actually perch on ones finger. Think somewhere I have a pic of one sittin on my finger (though the pic came out kinda bad). So its just a matter of taking enough shots.
Most of these pics I have on my webshots albums. I didn't feel like resizing em down and just saved the smaller versions from webshots. But webshots knocks the resolution down a bit, and the pictures lose some clarity. It seems to be really noticeable on some of the shots.
