Bumbling Along.....

A bumble bee visiting the honeysuckle in my yard back in May. I took this picture right after the hummingbird sitting in the chokecherry tree.

Resting Hummer...

This hummingbird was at the feeder but when I stepped out on the deck it flew over to the choke cherry tree and waited for me to go back in.

Lupines....

Here are a couple of lupine shots, one standard and one a little more abstract.

Not Just Lupines....

I photographed lupines last week but that's not the only thing I took pictures of in the area. The bird life was crazy so I'm glad I brought my long lens with me. These are the first cedar waxwings I've ever photographed and they let me get pretty close, there was a whole flock.

Chickadee....

Here's a left over picture from back in May when I went to Sabattus River. It landed on the pine for a split second and I was only able to snap one photo.

Pretty in Pink...

I took this photo shortly after the sunrise photo from the last post. The ragged robins were in peak bloom. Like I mentioned before, I was actually headed to photograph lupines so I wasn't really dressed for trudging through a dew laden field. I had about a quarter mile walk from the road to get to the spot where I photographed the sunrise, needless to say I got soaked. I usually wear waders when I go out at dawn. By the way I did make it to the lupine patch this past Saturday morning so I'll be posting photos from that day soon.

Sabattus River Sunrise....

I took this photo last Sunday morning. I was originally headed to photograph a field of lupines and I wanted to be there at sunrise which on that particular morning was at 5 AM. It's a half hour drive to the lupine field so I left the house at 4:30 but I never made it. When I started to see the colors forming in the sky I decided to head to Sabattus River. This was the distraction I mentioned in my last post.
