While at the Los Angeles Arboretum for the Wild Mushroom Fair, my wife and I took a walk around the property. There wasn’t much opportunity for wildlife photographs but I did get a few shots. This photograph of an Allen’s Hummingbird is actually one of my favorite photographs I’ve taken now. My guess is that the Hummingbird’s perch is a type of Agave plant… Aloe maybe… I don’t really know but it is very cool looking, especially with its pink tips. I also love when Hummingbirds shake around and stretch and fluff their feathers. This photograph was taken while it was shaking about which lead to a cool detailed shot with the tail feathers separated. The dark background really sets off the plant and the Hummingbird.
