Before coming to Costa Rica I thought hummingbirds never stopped to rest while feeding but I am happy to say they quite often pause to sit on plants around the garden. The perfect moment to capture them in all their loveliness!
A tip for photographing dragonflies is to realize they often return to certain rest spots- usually the tops of sticks rather than leaves so if you see one sitting and it flies off, wait a few moments, size up the shot you want where you saw it sit as if it were still there, angle yourself for the best light and background and just wait. It will be quite likely to return.
The jungle is an endless source of life and inspiration. If you don't have jungle take a walk in your nearest woodland. The wildlife will delight you and the clean air will refresh you mentally. It always does!
These were taken using my Canon PowerShot SX60 HS

Oh awesome, dragonflies are special to me. Cool tips to capture them, I have noticed they tend to fly in patterns too. Hummingbirds are one thing in CR I never really saw many of, I think I see more here in the summertime! Of course I lived in San Jose so.. jaja

Well I am happy you are seeing them now at least and yeah they gravitate to water so maybe San Jose was a little dry for them ☺️

The hummingbirds that I have seen when visiting Arizona never stop when they are feeding! They are always moving so fast when eating at the little feeders still! Really cool that you were able to get a shot like that when it finally simmered down for a second :).

The feeders are fun for hummingbird watching. Another thing I notice here in the jungle is that they go to flowerless plants too seemingly drinking water from leaves
