Time for another You Capture post hosted by I should be folding laundry. This weeks theme, to share ONE of your best shots from the week.
Yesterday while I was cleaning up the house the birds outside were going crazy singing to each other and flying around the yard.
As I looked out the window to see who was doing all the chirping I saw the most beautiful bird I have ever seen in our neck of the woods.
It was a neon yellow in color and I suspect it was an escapee from someones house or a pet store. Unfortunately the minute I stepped outside with my camera in hand it took off like a rocket.
Instead of the neon yellow bird I was buzzed by these two hummingbirds do a little sky dance.
I honestly can't believe I was able to capture this moment. It would have looked a lot less distracting if the tree wasn't in the back ground, but hey........it is pretty darn cool to capture two hummingbirds looking like they are about to kiss.

That is so special! I am waiting for my little hummingbirds to return this spring and I'm getting impatient!
That shot is a humdinger! {pun intended}
We've been trying to capture hummingbirds for 4 years now so I totally appreciate what a great shot this is!
Absolutely amazing. Don't know that I'd ever be able to capture that.
Wow! Talk about being at the right place at the right time!!! That is an awesome shot!
The tree in the background is part of what makes this shot special. Very cool capture!
Beautiful shot!
This is fabulous!
Well, you knocked the ball out of the park with this one. But I'd venture to say they were more like fighting than kissing! Male hummingbirds are VERY territorial and I would guess these are males because of their color. Most people never get a pic of one hummingbird and you managed to get two in one shot! Pretty amazing.
Wow that is amazing! What luck that you were able to grab your camera quickly enough!
We both had kisses in our You Capture's hahaha
Sorry you missed the one shot, but this one is SUPER! WOW.
I want a camera like yours. Also, photography skills like yours would help too. ;)
Fantastic capture!
Wow so Beautiful!!
What an amazing catch!
I'm officially out of superlatives. Refer to all the comments above. Sometimes His plan trumps yours, because He has something more beautiful in store for you...

Marvelous! You really caught them! Who cares about the tree it's still delightful!!!
That is cool! It's hard to capture hummingbirds period. Let alone two!
