Hummingbird

There was a Hummingbird in our yard, and I tried to take a picture of it with my cheap zoom lens, and I learned an important lesson, namely that there’s a very good reason this lens was so cheap.
Caveat Emptor: Canon EF-S 55-250 1:4-5.6 IS.

 “Yes, Jeeves?”

Dr. Smith picked the thing up and squinted at it; a solution presented itself.
 “How do you like my hallowe’en costume?”

Dr. Smith smiled. “I see what you did there.”
