I Challenge You!

Dinnertime is a real showdown here with the male hummingbirds. He is definitely challenging another male for his territory as he flashes his bright colors.
I thought this was a Rufous hummingbird but after some research he looks more like an Allen's hummingbird
You can see my little videos of him here:

This week in SSC:
"Architecture"
I went into town to look for something interesting for our challenge and found this pretty church called "Our Lady Star of the Sea" that was built in the early 1950s. My mom took us here a few times when I was little and I remember thinking it was really pretty. It was exciting to see it again and get the opportunity to photograph the inside too. I hope you will enjoy it.. (More in the PiPs.)

This is an adult male Rufous Hummingbird. They are bright orange with a red throat (see pic below) and are really teeny tiny only 2.8-3.5 in (7-9 cm) long and weigh a mere 0.1-0.2 oz (2-5 g).

This week in SSC:
"Panning"
(looks best full screen)
I like panning but there's a real trick to doing it and it all happens SO fast. I took so many practice shots. I think this one has the most detail. I never saw the little girl looking at me until I had the image on my computer. She's so cute in the back there with her dolly but I want to cheer her up. Maybe a Beatles' song?....

Time to Feast

This week in SSC:
"Surrealism"
This is a little piece I like to call "Time to Feast Among the Flowers." It involves a clock, a lamp, a painting and the "Multiple Exposure" setting on my camera plus a little "Mirror" effect in PicMonkey. I sent them all into another dimension for just a few minutes to achieve the desired effect. I hope you enjoy my "Surreal" entry. :)
And for Sight and Sound (it just so happens that there is a song that kinda fits):
The Red Hot Chili Peppers from their album "The Getaway" (2016)

HFF to you all and a good weekend too! :)
Moonlight and the night is still, before the dawn
The wind cries, it is time for you to be moving on
Some day you will make your way down to the shore
High tide and the sailor longs for the sea once more
Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still
Sail on, sail away, following the wind...
..and for Sight and Sound:
Robin Trower and James Dewar from the album "Caravan to Midnight" (1978)
