We have a "hummingbird corner" in the upper corner of our yard, with dozens of shaggy red monarda flowers, a favourite of hummers (click on any of the photos for a larger image):
When the monarda blooms come to an end, the butterfly bush, which is just starting to bloom, will provide interest for the remainder of the summer. Nearby, there are lots of trees in which the hummers can rest, such as our small cherry tree:
...a medium sized alder tree beyond the fence:
...and a tall alder tree behind our yard:
This is an interesting photo of the hummingbird already turned around, and just about to dart away:

hummingbirds are such a treat. I'm hoping to attract some to my yard this year with the blooms of some scarlett runner beans. I think I'll add some monarda. yours look great. beautiful photos. enjoy the hummingbirds.

Those are really nice hummingbird photos. That vivid monarda really adds to the photo too.
thanks for sharing these sweet pix! i've only seen hummingbirds 4 times and never managed to 'capture' one in a camera
I luv Humming Birds! They are the cutest little animal in the world!
