Localized and common.

Female sipping some nectar on a sunny day.

 

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

Hit of the day: Alena Mikela - Sip

They are thinning out a bit, still not the number of Butterflies we are used to have,

Green Grass Dart (Ocybadistes walkeri)

 

This one was enjoying the Dandelion pollen so much it didn't notice me come in close to get the image.

Yellow Admiral (Vanessa itea)

 

Sipping on the Jade flowers on Sunday.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

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!

The picture revealed itself in front of me as I was having my last sip.

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!

Der letzte Schmetterling für dieses Jahr. The last butterfly for this year.

A baby butterfly patiently waited for me to take the shot.

 

Happy Easter everybody!

Momentarily lost in the archives trying to find my way outside with camera in hand. The sun is shining and the Loons are calling. :)

Happy Sunday!

Cabbage White (Pieris rapae)

 

This one stayed long enough on the African Daisy for me to get a shot.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

A female Anna's Hummingbird sipping Nectar! She chose our Rasberry Agastache (Hyssop) flowers. She has a tiny Hummingbird feather attached to her foot. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

We still have quite a bit of snow and ice but it is starting to melt with temperatures getting above freezing. This mallard drake decides to take a sip of water but he has to get quite low to do so. Those mallards that overwinter have to contend with the ice and snow until Spring melt, maybe late April.

Walking in the forest is like exploring life

It's like seeing everything with new eyes

It's like taking a sip of it all

 

A sip of the light

A sip of the pure greeness

A sip of gratitude

A sip of peacefulness

A sip of love

 

Feeling awe and refreshed after sipping it all

 

Sometimes we can only take in small sips

Observing is easier when you have less

Sometimes circumstances won't let you have more

A full mug might be too much

 

As in sipping love...

 

Sipping love makes you aware of how lucky you are having it in your life

You will notice that when it is not so easy accessible

You will not take that for granted anymore

 

The gratitude you feel is immensely grand

Because it is missing

But not gone

Just missing

Missing for the time being

It is coming back

Always

In some way or form

 

When you first have got the taste of love you will have it all, the whole mug

Giving love

Receiving love

 

Sometimes less is more

I can deal with less for a while, but I sure want more

At least when it comes to love

 

2 full mugs next time, thank you
