I don't know how you get the wildlife in your garden to pose so nicely for you. :-? Whenever I try to photograph mine they fly off and all I get is a blur. Lovely shots - especially of the mating Hummingbird Hawk Moths. :-D
Thank you Eileen...we have such windy days It is hard to believe the small butterflys can even fly in it. I have a few Orioles here but the feeder has become a drinking spot for wasps, etc. so the orioles turn and leave....
