A butterfly sipping from a flower.
For Macro Monday's theme #Connection
In case it's not obvious, the butterfly needs the connection to drink from the flower :-)

Thank you for taking a look at my images. I certainly appreciate it.
Day 022 - 365/2023 - A Never-Ending Journey
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting to feel a little better and positive, appetite returning and a bit more energy. Still keeping up with the intake of liquids and actually prepared dinner today. The daily photo project is still stressing, but less today. Thankfully used the list yesterday with the rattan. Played a bit in photoshop today while listening to music, something I missed doing while dealing with the flu. Looking forward to better days.

This is a single parachute seed from my previous post (Salsify Seed Pod). I applied two tiny droplets of water to shoot an interesting photo... but then a Thrips just appeared and started sipping from the drop. Go figure. I already had my MP-E65 macro cranked out to 5x Magnification. Sometimes you just get lucky.

Thank you for taking a look at my images. Always appreciated.
Today is a gloomy and rainy day in Pittsburgh, so I will just have to imagine sipping a lovely Prosecco while watching a glorious pastel sunset!!
A lake on the outskirts of the city was teeming with waders! I had a fantastic time shooting in that place. Many different waders and the light was fantastic with little fog. There were over 1500 birds but many were on the far side.
These migratory barn swallows were in full active mode and flying continuously and occasionally taking breaks on the rocks. I lay myself on the ground to get some shots of the Stints, but then some of them flew close and I managed to grab some flight shots. These are really tough on the hand to shoot in flight!
One thing I learned is that the birds glide over the lake and suddenly dip their head into the water and then fly away. Through my shots, I learnt that they are actually catching insects - water striders - through that action. Previously I thought it was to take a sip of water, but now I have several shots showing they catch these insects that can walk over water.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback - much appreciated.

Carpenter Ant drinking from a dew drop from a handrail. This is a 7-image focus stack and whilst I tried to get more of this magnificent beast in focus with more shots, they don't hang around long enough. As long as you focus on the head end first!
Our Crocosmia has finally started to open. A funny thing is that the female Anna's Hummingbirds are hitting the flowers, but the males are still using the Nectar tube.
