A few from the garden. Not much going on , far too hot for even the little critters.

As always your nits and suggestions are most welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you for looking and hope you enjoy.

Ohhhh geresh you do these so darn well

#1 That is quite the pollinator!
#2 Unique comp, very nice
#3 Love those colors here, excellent!
#4 This is awesome, the position of the fly is 'killer' and tells the story

#5 Colors are sooo enjoyable!
#6 Hover Bees are cool, this one might have lightened the eyes a bit for more separation but cool

#11 Love the richness of color and seclusion, nicely presented

All good Birdie

Another incredible set Birdie, I think that Karl has pretty much summed it up in addressing the technical aspects of these images. Super job!

3, 5, 8 and 10 are standouts Roberta. I'm jealous as I've been wanting to take photos in my garden and the wind keeps blowing.

Hope the weather gives you a break soon Morris. It is far too hot now to spend time in the garden. Going to be a long hot summer.

Great series!
The assassin bug image is the best, IMO.

Excellent images, especially the eyes of the dragonfly! How did you get the dragonfly to perch on your finger?
