Miss Phoebe, one of our resident female Anna's Hummingbird, sipping nectar. This time she chose our Amistad Salvia for her after dinner snack!!
Sipping nectar from my petunias. I have about 5 baskets of petunias hanging where my hummingbird feeders are. That way I can get the occasional hummer that is drinking nectar from the flowers rather than the feeders. I particularly liked this shot.
These birds are probably one of the biggest challenges to photograph. Their speed is so incredible, their movements so erratic, they of course very rarely stay in one spot for long and they are so tiny.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, large subjects are simple to photograph in action, but these guys make one take action photography to a whole new level
Finally I got some photos from a great poser,
I have no idea why they like this spot by the chimney and the AC
Unit right under the bush, very close to the kitchen window.
Green Grass Dart (Skipper) (Ocybadistes walkeri)
I don't often see the Skippers in the front garden. This one was sipping nectar from an African Daisy today.
You can see just how long its tongue is here.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Common Grass Blue (Zizina labradus)
Seen in the garden today, as are all today's images, but this time I had the macro lens on.

It was my first trip out with the camera for a while this afternoon and how lovely to see this elegant painted lady in the beautiful Sussex Prairie Gardens - not a butterfly I've seen often around here. I was pleased with the detail on the head in this one, so worth zooming in!
An active, but worn Red Admiral butterfly pausing for a moment on its way north.
Common start/end of season migrant and warm weather resident.
Momentarily lost in the archives trying to find my way outside with camera in hand. The sun is shining and the Loons are calling. :)

Cabbage White (Pieris rapae)
This one stayed long enough on the African Daisy for me to get a shot.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
I was inspired by other images that I've seen here on Flickr. And decided to take out one of my teacups from my cabinet, pick some flowers from a hanging basket and shoot! I used a piece of glitter construction paper for the background and a couple of my small table top LED lights. (They get extremely HOT) I know it's very girly but I just wanted to use some of my props. Hoping to get back out side soon!
Thank you everyone!

Green Grass Dart (Ocybadistes walkeri)
I am still seeing good numbers of Skippers around. Not really surprising with temperatures around 30°C (86°F) for most of the Easter Weekend.
Sometimes i like to go a different path and not with a daily theme. Do you know what i mean. I am also a wee bit shy on truck photos. Well, I have them but they are on cameras and i have been so busy as of late.
Happy Thursday
