Wonderful, sharp close-ups of those quick little flying creatures. The vivid colors really pop.

I will never associate boredom with your lovely work Birdie... in fact, I know I am always in for a treat when I click on your posts... no exception with this one.
Technically very good as always, and your comps are among the best on the forum... 1 and 4 are my favorites in this set, #1 is so cool.
Super duper my friend.

All wonderful images, Birdie. How can we be bored with these.
#4 & 5 are my favorites but I think the BG in #5 needs a little more pp.
I have never seen a bee shot like #6. Very cool.

Bee..autiful!

That first shot is one killer grab Birdie. Brilliant to see you upping your game with mining bees and you hit that one perfectly. Well done going for the speedsters! Looking forward to seeing more!

Phil



Thanks so much Phil ! This little miner took a liking to one particular flower so it made it a bit easier.

They are all lovely. #2 and #4 are my favorites.

You should be getting migrant birds and wintering birds there soon. In SF's South Bay we have seen quite a variety of both this month. I took a peek at ebird.org for hotspots near you and found that the New Orleans City Park and the Harahan River Batture have seen some interesting birds in the last week. Here is the url for Harahan: http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L660592.

Thank you Nancy for the comment and for the link. Will have to check it out.

Very nice series of shots, but I do love how you captured that wingspan of the butterfly against that background, and the Bee Back Later has a tranquil quality to it...like it's meditating to the flower.

What a terrific set of images, Birdie. Such wonderful composition on all. That first one is a wowser. Really like the hummer with the beautiful deep blue in #4. Excellent work.
