Great shot! I love hummingbird moths their wings though are so hard to capture did you know their wings move faster than a hummingbird?

I think I saw one of those fly by me one time while I was in the yard, but I'm not sure...it didn't stop. Beautiful shot, Sandi.

I saw one of these a couple of years ago and was amazed. This is a good capture of one Tigz.

It's amazing how much he looks like a plane. lol Has the wings the rotor, the landing gear. lol Great closeup, Tigs. I reckon they are all gone now.

Wonderful close up Sandi. Days of summer comes to mind instead of this rain and 40mph wind of today.
I love the colors and the composition in this.

Love it, Sandi! Coming in for a landing, except no planes wings can move like that. Great job.

You sure chose the right perspective for this Sandi. You captured it so well and it is easy to see how it got its name.
Love the contrasting colours.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
