Old friends re-introduced take the opportunity to rampage and buck and charge around together, full of the joys of autumn.
Hover fly (Syrphidae), photographed at Cottonwood-Steverson WMA, about 27 miles north of Hyannis, Nebraska, on June 11, 2021.
During the Easter/Passover break we stole away to Florida for a few days, mostly spent staring out at the beach through shut windows and wondering why-oh-why it always manages to hit record cold whenever we pass through the Sunshine State.
Walking down the beach on our last afternoon, we came across a woman feeding the gulls. She was surrounded by a huge flock, all flapping and squawking; its bolder members swooping to grab pieces of bread from her hand. She offered me a turn, but I demurred, staying behind my camera to grab a few shots.
I only packed a fixed 35mm lens for the trip, which might lend a sense of how closely this bird hovered over my head while it jockeyed for its handout.

A hover fly doing legs workout...that's probably why it has such nice legs :D
Truly a sexy sight to see, as thick coastal fog simply hovers over the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains, and oddly connects with the clouds out at the ocean! This was definitely one shot (of many) to capture the correct way, only because this kind of sight doesn't occur in this manner too often. Photo captured near the census-designated place of Gorda in Southern Monterey County. Big Sur. Late July 2012.
no chance of seeing any of these today - it's pouring with rain, only to be expected as today is a Bank Holiday. Tomorrow is supposed to be a lot nicer, fingers crossed.
I used my 35mm lens with 2 +4 macro diopters, I've also cropped this a bit too...
"Takara Tomy HOVER-Q
The world smallest IR Control Hovercraft!
It hovers, glides and drifts on your desk! Ultra small Hovercraft
Hovercraft / air cushion vehicle moves by high-pressure air ejected downword ground. Fantastic and futuristic vehicle! Palm size hovercraft,
just 11.5cm / 4.52in
HOVER Q is just miniaturized, but moves smoothly and powerfuly like a real one. Let's see the smooth hovering, glide and drift!"
This is the 2nd kingfisher that we've seen hovering as it hunts. I captured one not too long ago but it was much further away. This one was a tad bit closer and I could make out that this is a male.
Hover fly (I think) in the garden.
A bit of macro practice with my new toy - a Sony A65VL camera!!

Saw this kestrel hovering in the last light as I set up for badgers. Quite impressed that I could get this handheld at 600mm equivalent. Testament to the Olympus E-M5ii's image stabilisation.
This is a reprise of my most popular photo by far. However, I am less thrilled with the original despite its "success". This version is less cropped, less processed, more color-accurate and natural.
This was taken with a Quantaray/Sigma 50mm F2.8 Tech-10 macro lens using a Phoenix RF46N ring flash handheld.
