This captivating close-up photograph features a lively insect perched on a blurred background. The insect, with its vibrant colors and animated posture, appears poised to leap into action.

I do love to watch juveniles in the rain. I slowed the shutter to catch rain drops if I could. This juvy White-crowned sparrow stayed still for some time, only rotating its head occasionally.
Thanks for looking.

Camera, tripod and coffee therapy. I know the name of this plant we planted last year, and I'll think of it in a moment ;) Forsythia!
Shined a tiny bit of off-camera light on the darker side of these leaves to balance the backlight.
