Good photography is composed of (1) Planning (2) skill (3) Luck. The proportions can vary .

Nice shots--I especially liked the first H-bird pic. Regarding the last visitor, remember, don't feed those critters, especially by hand. Don't know where in NC you live; my daughter had a small farm in Hayesville for a while. Beautiful country.

Great set, hummers are really nicely captured, bear would suggest to me I carry my .44 mag when ever I sit outside. Man killed by a Black Bear while sitting outside drinking a cup or coffee.

I certainly don't want to tangle with a bear because there is no doubt who would win that fight but this was a very small bear, I caught her inside my screened deck a few weeks back and here she has returned. I took a few pics and then slammed my hand down on the deck rail while yelling "hey" and she left immediately.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I appreciate your taking the time to view and comment.

They are not usually aggressive so that might happen only if he likes the coffee you are drinking.

I didn't want to say anything because I did not want to start a back and forth, but I agree with you that they are normally not aggressive however a teenage girl was mauled by a black bear while sleeping in a hammock two years ago in this area. The good news is that this was a very small bear most likely its first season away from its mom, hardly much larger than my dog and when I made noise it immediately left the area.
