G for ABC Wednesday

A gracious geranium hosts a hyper hummer who'd been sipping sugary nectar from the feeder before spying the real thing.

The picture is a little blurry (okay, it might be a lot blurry) because these little guys move far faster than my camera. She grazed my ear as she gallivanted from one end of the deck to the other.

A chance to catch her in a still shot came soon after this when she flew up to examine a fly strip. Glad she didn't get glued to that, although it would have been an easier photo capture.

Is your shutter speed as fast as the general hummingbird?

F for ABC Wednesday

A frog from the flip side. This little hopper was creeping up the window glass with his tongue primed for a flittering tiny moth loitering in the sash corner. Frog's journey was a step forward followed by two slips back. The fearless moth fluttered on.

I'm sure there was an ending, but I didn't see it. Do you have one in mind?
