Photographer and author Guy Sagi of Raeford, N. Carolina titled this submitted photo of a female Ruby-throated hummingbird "Late for a Date. " Sagi quips: "Despite a freshly moussed hairdo, and fresh, colorful makeup, this hummingbird's date is late and she's going to make a 'point' of telling him she's running off with that shiftless pigeon from next door if he does it again." Technical: Canon 5D Mark II with Canon EF 70-200 F4L lens, ISO: 200 @f6.3 with a Canon 580 EXII, ETTL flash. More of Sagi's work may be viewed and read at www.facebook.com/fearandloading.
