The flower is in focus here, while the hummer is just a little blurred as it sips nectar in the background.
The emerald feathers on her back positively shimmer in the light, though she does blend in with the greenery surrounding her.
Hummingbirds are just the most amazing creatures, hovering in place while teasing nectar out of each blossom in the cluster or zipping around in a blur as they chase off interlopers.
Don't be too surprised to see more hummer pictures along the way - I've taken a lot of them while watching their antics. I hope there will be a few more photos that showcase these little beauties well enough to share.

Can never see too many hummers. I will get up and head towards the door and hubby will ask what I where I am going........by now he should know the answer - "I am going hummer hunting." That means I am taking a tour throughout the gardens looking for hummers. My favorite thing to do this time of year. I love it when I hear/feel their wings about my head. Sounds like a helicopter whirling about.

I agree, Sheila. I also love their scolding chatter as they argue amongst themselves about who gets to dominate the territory, not to mention the aerial jousting matches!
