August Break #4

I just adore these tiny birds.
They're among the most fascinating creatures on the planet.

My sister has dozens of hummingbirds at her feeders. 
It's thrilling to sit on her porch and watch them buzz around, dive-bombing each other like kamikaze pilots.
Sometimes one will even become curious about you if you sit very still. It will fly around you to check you out for itself, flying so close you can feel the breeze created from its wings. That's always fun!
I always look forward to going to her house so I can sit and watch these magnificent creatures.
...and of course, take pictures.
I wish you could come sit on her porch too. It's amazing!

August Break #1
My first photo for the August Break is of a garden pest, the Japanese beetle. He's pretty in his own way even though he's a pest. I love to take pictures of critters of all kinds as I find them fascinating. What I love about macro photography is the fact that we get to see things that are too small for the eye to see, giving us a glimpse of the fine details of tiny creatures, plants and other things that we cannot normally see.
Wondrous world we live in, isn't it?!
