One day I saw a large batch of purple sage on my daily walk. I stopped to admire this beautiful scene and I noticed a lot of hummingbirds feeding on the purple sage. It was overcast so the light was perfect for photographing flowers up close. I ran home and got my camera with my 100-400 lens and returned hoping the hummingbirds would still be there. They were still there and I spent the next 2 hours photographing them before the sun came out making it too bright to be suitable for photography. I really loved the contrasting colors of the green hummingbirds and the purple sage. Hummingbirds are very difficult to photograph due to their small size and their fast speed. I photographed them with my camera in burst mode to increase my chances of getting shots that were in focus.
