I've forgotten what these are called. It's almost as big as a hummingbird, but very quiet. It's a BUMBLEBIRD !

UPDATE:

This is a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth

Many, many thanks to everyone. This landed in Explore.

Come, and trip it as ye go

On the light fantastic toe,

And in thy right hand lead with thee,

The mountain-nymph, sweet Liberty;

And if I give thee honour due,

Mirth, admit me of thy crew

To live with her, and live with thee,

In unreproved pleasures free;

To hear the lark begin his flight,

And singing startle the dull night,

From his watch-tower in the skies,

Till the dappled dawn doth rise;

Then to come in spite of sorrow,

And at my window bid good-morrow,

Through the sweet-briar, or the vine,

Or the twisted eglantine;

While the cock with lively din,

Scatters the rear of darkness thin,

And to the stack, or the barn door,

Stoutly struts his dames before;

Oft list'ning how the hounds and horn

Cheerly rouse the slumb'ring morn,

From the side of some hoar hill,

Through the high wood echoing shrill.

From L'Allegro by John Milton (1608 - 1674)

Playing in the grassy field with my daughter, Madison, I caught a glimpse of the sun shining on these flowers, so I took the opportunity to snap a photo. A little different than my normal work, but nothing wrong with experimenting :)

This was one of those rare times when she actually agreed to stop what she was doing for 30 seconds and let me shoot off three frames. And for one of them, she actually looked right at the lens for once. Result: 1/500 second of magic.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I like it in b&w or the original color version.
