One day two years ago, I was sitting on a small stool to draw weeds. I had my camera around my neck because I was hoping to get a picture of the hummingbird that was flying around the flowers. I do not know if it was because I was sitting or what, but a hummingbird has returned close to me, and sitting on my heart bushes. I slowly raised my camera and could take several photos of it based on the branch. Another hummingbird then began feeding on the flowers from the bush. I was so close I could hear the beating of wings. The sun was at a perfect angle to capture the beautiful colors of feathers. I could hardly wait to get photos of hummingbirds developed. I quickly turned off the rest of the roller and the film took in. The photos of hummingbirds have been fantastic. And to my surprise I realized that I had caught a picture of their little nest with two eggs in it. The nest is in one of the plants that I took a picture of the use of film.

The person to the camera shop asked if they could display an image. A few days later I was called about the sale of one of photos. I had so many requests that I had more framed. I’m doing nature photography and selling prints. It is a great career change. I’m not counting the days to retirement.
