This is another shot of a Humming Bird Moth, or more correctly, as I found on a web site, it is a Whitelined Sphinx Hummingbird Moth. It seemed like some did not have as colorful markings as others. Hard to tell on this one since it is a side view, but if I had to guess I would say the females are not as colorful as happens in nature quite often. For more info. on these moths check out this WEB SITE. Please view full size! :)

It feels as if you stoped the time, had all the time you needed, so you went home, took your camera, focused several minutes and took that wonderful shot. Was it that way and if so, how do you stop the time? You can PM the answer, so not everybody will know ...

John I would say slightly smaller although it's been some time since I've seen a hummingbird in my area.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

Another great close up of that fellow. I used to think these were humming birds until I got closer to one. That proboscis of his is really long. Get a small feeder for the hummingbirds, Dan. Until I got one, I thought the hummers only came by once in awhile, but with a feeder, I see them throughout the entire day, even after sundown sometimes!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
