I can't believe you caught this in action Eggz. What a wild ride the ant is in for. I am speechless as to the greatness of this one.

Comment unto one another as you would have them comment unto you. If you like comments, you need to comment some yourself.

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

OK..this is simply amazing! Not only the details of the humming bird amazing and clean. You have even captured a tiny ant just as perfectly!
Hope that ant holds on for dear life!

Has that "Horton Hears a Who" vibe. : ) Beautiful details and background.

Marvelous capture Gregg. You do such a great job. Thanks for sharing. (To help keep ants off the feeder - take a plastic shot glass or any tiny plastic glass, make a small hole in the bottom middle, rub vaseline all over the inside and then turn the plastic glass upside down and put the wire -or whatever the feeder hangs from- thru the plastic glass. It make a dome above the feeder and the vaseline keeps the ants from getting to the feeder. It has worked for me for the last three years. You can usually get a free plastic shot glass from any bar - many liquor companies use them as advertising.) Although the ants are a pain on the feeder - if they result in a photo op like this one, maybe they are worth it.

Life is precious; therefore, do not waste it by doing things mechanically without love. We should try to put love into everything we do. - Amma
Great shot. I sure wouldn't count this one as a fail.
I have two feeders hanging on jack chain and I coat the top connection with an antiseptic ointment called Bag Balm. It's a petroleum & lanolin based concoction meant to apply to a cows chapped udder. It does amazing things for chapped skin, cows or humans too. But it does smell funky and I thought that would keep the ants away. So far it has and the rain doesn't wash it away either. It comes in a little square green metal can and it's fantastic for lots of skin problems. If you can stand the odor and greasiness that is. Farmer's swear by it.
