Humming colors

The male Anna’s Hummingbird, Skewie! As seen by his offset beak, this little fella likes to visit daily. On this evening, the sun was just about to pass under the house across the street, and I was about to get in my car and drive off somewhere. When I got to my car I saw him perch on our avocado tree out front and quickly grabbed my camera out of my bag and ran back over across the street towards my house to try and get some shots. The first few were okay, but I didn’t like the angle and he wasn’t big enough in the frame for my liking, so I tried something. Just in front of the tree was my dads truck, so I went over and stood on the tire. This got me REALLY close to him and he luckily didn’t seem to mind at all. From this position I was able to get the nice warm colors of the tree in the background behind him to make for this picture. Such a majestic little hummingbird.
