I added a filter to add a touch of pink to the sky.
This kestrel female gave a show last monday.
Here she was hovering just about 20 mtr. above me.
Handheld shot.
This hover fly was feeding on these late flowers in the park, no idea what the plant is, it is very thorny bush but the branches and thorns are like a succulent or cacti.
This Arctic Tern is in hover mode as it checks out the space directly beneath it for food.
Taken 1 June 2018 at Potter Marsh, Anchorage, Alaska.
Taken at my local nature reserve. A lovely marmalade hoverfly hovering in mid air, deciding which flower to choose! Very obliging to stay 'still' long enough for a few photos.
Thornbush Dancer dragonfly
Hugh Ramsey Park, Harlingen TX USA
This is the first time I got a decent picture of a hovering dragonfly.
Taken in Hugh Ramsey Park - one of my favorite places in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Hovering is an energy-intensive activity, achieved by beating the wings more or less horizontally – to provide lift but not thrust. The ability to hover for long periods is advantageous when foraging in areas away from a nearby perch. This means that the bird can maximize its time for hunting, rather than returning to a nearby perch to scan the area.
Forster's tern was hovering above the same spot for few minutes allowing me good opportunity the snap a few shots @ Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve

Me, barefoot on the second floor roof checking out the stars as police helicopters hovered all over the local skies looking for someone. I don't know why I had an urge to go barefoot on a cold night like this but I don't know why I do half the things I do most times. It was very soothing until the helicopters were directly over head. I became very nervous being on the roof not knowing who they were looking for and why. I was quite sure that I could be seen with their infrared cameras. My autofocus light was showing up for sure.
Much as I fear being mistaken for someone else and being beaten by the cops. I have seen enough to know it can happen... I decided to stay and keep taking pictures. I'm on my own damned roof I reasoned. The helicopters now appeared to be hovering over the Schuylkill river after they left my immediate area.
When I finally went in, I turned on the news to find that a guy had gone on a shooting spree and shot three people and a cop while fleeing. To escape he ran to the river... the river got him.
This is a long exposure. The only illumination is a street light.
two hummingbirds in silhouette hover, staring at each other for a momentary pause in their battle over the feeder, hummingbird migration in Texas seems to be starting a little early; cold winter approaching? Corpus Christi, Tx for FlickrFriday
Another shot from the hummingbird feeder at my parents' backporch. I love how this looks like it is hovering, frozen in midair. They have so many hummingbirds that come to their feeder. It was so much fun watching them and trying to photograph them.

One of my favourite archive shots form 2011, That Black headed gull was just hovering over my head it was definitely looking at something but I could not see what but its actions made the shot lucky for me.
This tiny hover fly rested on a leaf long enough for me to take a few photos and pick up it iridescent colors.
I don't see that often a Belted Kingfisher hovering in the air. I have seen Pied Kingfisher doing that quite frequently during my last trip to India. Belted Kingfishers, on the other hand, are most often seen perched on a tree and then suddenly diving into water to catch a fish. So, when I saw this one hovering in the middle of the marsh I took 14 shots that lasted slightly over a second. Later in photoshop I put 7 frames together to create this image. I lost track of the bird after the fourteenth frame when it went behind the cattails. It is interesting to see how the wings and tail feathers move in order to stay afloat. Rouge Beach Park, Toronto.
Another set of hover bikes for a Ninjago City expansion
All my bikes are heavily inspired by the amazing work showcased in the Lego Speeder Bikes group, and two of the bikes in this image have their front ends especially based on Ted Andes' Arashi bike and its variations:

This shot from Hintersee, Bavaria lay long on my harddrive unedited. I knew I wanted to do something with it, but quite couldn't figure it out.
When I rotated the image 180 degrees and the small island with the tree on it appeared to be hovering in the air I knew what I wanted to do with it.

Diese Aufnahme vom Hintersee, Bayern, lag lange unbearbeitet auf meiner Festplatte. Ich wusste, dass ich etwas damit machen wollte, aber nicht so recht, was.
Als ich das Bild um 180 Grad drehte und die kleine Insel mit dem Baum darauf in der Luft zu schweben schien, wusste ich, was ich damit machen wollte.
This little hoverfly happily hovered in one spot just long enough for me to focus and shoot!
No idea as to ID and there are many, many species of hoverfly so I'm not even going to begin to try!
Hoverflies (known in America as Flower Flies) belong to a large family of small to large flies. They are true flies or Diptera, with only one pair of wings in the Family Syrphidae.
