Monarch butterfly sipping nectar from a garden Zinnia.

Common and abundant.

Common Buckeye butterfly goes for a deep sip of nectar as it pokes down into a Lantana flowerhead.

Considered an uncommon migrant into the area from the south. Abundance varies from year to year.

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

Don't bite off more than you can chew when you can sip the nectar

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

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.

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!

An active, but worn Red Admiral butterfly pausing for a moment on its way north.

Common start/end of season migrant and warm weather resident.

A rufous hummingbird blissfully sips nectar from a purple flower (I'm terrible with plant names. I think it's a salvia of some sort). This is either a female or immature male.

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

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 Wing Wednesday!

I was inspired by other images that I've seen here on Flickr. And decided to take out one of my teacups from my cabinet, pick some flowers from a hanging basket and shoot! I used a piece of glitter construction paper for the background and a couple of my small table top LED lights. (They get extremely HOT) I know it's very girly but I just wanted to use some of my props. Hoping to get back out side soon!

Thank you everyone!

I am still seeing good numbers of Skippers around. Not really surprising with temperatures around 30°C (86°F) for most of the Easter Weekend.

Sparrow getting water from the heated birdbath for the winter months.

Sometimes i like to go a different path and not with a daily theme. Do you know what i mean. I am also a wee bit shy on truck photos. Well, I have them but they are on cameras and i have been so busy as of late.

Happy Thursday
