Localized and common.

Miss Phoebe, one of our resident female Anna's Hummingbird, sipping nectar. This time she chose our Amistad Salvia for her after dinner snack!!

'Beija Flor' or humming bird sipping from the flowers at Costa do Sauipe, Bahia, North East Brazil.

Female sipping some nectar on a sunny day.

 

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

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

Green Grass Dart (Ocybadistes walkeri)

 

This one was enjoying the Dandelion pollen so much it didn't notice me come in close to get the image.

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.

Green Grass Dart (Skipper) (Ocybadistes walkeri)

 

I don't often see the Skippers in the front garden. This one was sipping nectar from an African Daisy today.

You can see just how long its tongue is here.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

Common Grass Blue (Zizina labradus)

 

Seen in the garden today, as are all today's images, but this time I had the macro lens on.

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!

Happy Easter everybody!

Momentarily lost in the archives trying to find my way outside with camera in hand. The sun is shining and the Loons are calling. :)

juvenile ruby-throated hummingibrd in the garden

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!

Thanks for visiting!

Walking in the forest is like exploring life

It's like seeing everything with new eyes

It's like taking a sip of it all

 

A sip of the light

A sip of the pure greeness

A sip of gratitude

A sip of peacefulness

A sip of love

 

Feeling awe and refreshed after sipping it all

 

Sometimes we can only take in small sips

Observing is easier when you have less

Sometimes circumstances won't let you have more

A full mug might be too much

 

As in sipping love...

 

Sipping love makes you aware of how lucky you are having it in your life

You will notice that when it is not so easy accessible

You will not take that for granted anymore

 

The gratitude you feel is immensely grand

Because it is missing

But not gone

Just missing

Missing for the time being

It is coming back

Always

In some way or form

 

When you first have got the taste of love you will have it all, the whole mug

Giving love

Receiving love

 

Sometimes less is more

I can deal with less for a while, but I sure want more

At least when it comes to love

 

2 full mugs next time, thank you
