I can't for the life of me remember what the flower is but they have flowered for most of the summer and as long as I dead head them, they keep coming back. I love the dark red/orange colour and obviously so does the bee! ;0)

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird standing on a leaf while feeding. I first photographed similar behaviour a week earlier (in that case the bird was sitting), so it was interesting to see it wasn't an isolated incident.

Amazing how different one can make the same image look :-) (see the previous posted image)

Thi leaf fell on a neighbor's sidewalk in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.

Leaf cutter bees (Megachile)

The females of these bees cut small pieces out of leaves or flowers and use them to line their nests. The individual species of this genus can hardly be distinguished from one another with the naked eye. Most species are not very picky when visiting flowers, only a few are highly specialized.

I got this shot of a Oak Leaf Hydrangea just before the subfreezing weather hit Oklahoma

A walk near the secret garden near Cemaes Bay, Anglesey, water droplets had gathered on the changing colour of this fallen leaf.

On a very cold morning in Monticello, NY.

An unexpected find on the same disused railway platform as the fallen leaves in the previous photo. (Identity of the creator not known).

Where there is art, an artist has been at work. Where there is design, a designer has been at work. Where there is creation, a creator has been at work.

Humans may make a small but unmistakable impact on nature, but the far greater hand of artist, designer and creator is in the provision of the natural world around us.

Hanging on, the cold did stop

The frozen water , ready to drop

Clinging on to the leaf

Before it descends down beneath

Onto the thirsty floor

That looks up and cries for more
