Happy New Year! City Daily Photo’s theme today is a look back at 2013’s “Photo of the Year,” about as easy for a photographer as it is for a parent to declare a favorite child. This shot takes center stage because I love hummingbirds and I’ve not found it easy to get satisfying shots of them. I like seeing this nest-builder at work. I have a few other favorite children who I’ll bring back for encores in the coming days.

Beautiful photo to start off the new year. The humming bird turned the scene from boring to spectacular.
I love this! It never occurred to me that a hummingbird would use the fluff from cattails for their nests but HEY! Why not!! Happy New Year and all the best in 2014!
Fantastic shot and excellent choice. This definitely deserves to be framed!!
It IS hard to pick favorites – and one time Don asked me which was my favorite/best photo – and my reply was “the next one” . I’ll be waiting to see your other “children.
This one is simply fabulous!!! You should have a gallery in your home with all your wonderful photos.
awwww this is so sweet! happy new year!
Hip hip hooray! I really don’t know how you managed to convince the hummingbird to stand still for you.
that is a good capture
Now you’re showing off! 😉 Seriously, you should be very proud of this photo for as you said it is difficult to get a good shot of a hummingbird. I know, I’ve tried, without much success! Hope your off to a good start for 2014!
It is a super shot! The clarity is amazing.
i really like this one too!!
LOVE it!
