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

Not only could you be featured in Victoria Magazine, but you also could publish your own photography magazine. These pictures are exceptional!!!
Gorgeous photos
Wow! such gorgeous photos Lorraine! The humming bird moth pictures are so lovely, specially the one in which the proboscis is seen so clearly. Darling pictures of the birds too. Beautiful!

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
Lots of busy activity in the yard these days! Wouldn't want to get in the way of the Momma watching out for baby:@)
beautiful pictures and that moth is amazing. I've never seen anything like it
Breath taking photos!
Nature with all its glory
All of your photos are pretty but I really love the butterfly.
Beautiful photo's, I have never seen a humming bird moth before…you did great to capture that!
These were fantastic pictures…I am soo impressed! I can't even get my camera out quick enough to catch our hummingbirds at the feeder. I have 3 of them at a time sharing our feeder…soo neat! Enjoy your day
Beautiful photographs, Lorraine! Such variety and beauty in God's creation…and you have captured so much of it in these captivating photos!
