things with wings

By Lorraine

 a very cool looking hummingbird moth (Hemaris thysbe or the Hummingbird Clearwing)
 on the bright white phlox
a blurry photo but you can see its curled proboscis that it uses to feed on nectar from flowers
 mourning dove softly cooing to me
 same dove keeping an eye on her baby that was being pursued by a blue-jay
 out of the nest and stretching its wings under mama’s careful watch
 then off the patio
 to make its way in the world
 silhouette of a hummer in the rain
a swallowtail on the buddleia bush

    There is absolutely nothing as wonderful as God's creation – and these perfect little creatures are a wonderful illustration!

    The first time I saw one of those moths it just kind of freaked me out. We were sitting outside and it "buzzed" my hair. lol Your photography skills get better all the time, Lorraine- xo Diana
