Motionless motion...(the long tongue, out of sight, is moving almost as fast as the wings!) A sipper of nectar. No crumbs, no mess. What elegant feeding! 

The approach (Ruby-Throated Hummingbird). 

Classic hummingbird hover (black and white). 

Forests of trefoil... 

Waiting for the wind... 

She loves me...... 

Single spear of grass, gone to seed... 

Milkweed starting to flower... 

Young cygnets in sink! Later the beaks will turn orange, the feathers, pure white... 

Proud... 

Soft focus on Red Peony... 

Day breaks... 

Mohawk Valley Sunrise... 

Texture... 

Red peony... 

White Peony... 

Intoxication... 

Tea Roses, flower and buds... 

Grapevine shoots in the Sumac jungle from the sodden earth... 

Crown Vetch flowers... 

Wild concord grapevine leaf... 

Weeks of soaking rain... Milkweed... 

A simply daisy in the rain... 

If you stop mowing your lawn, you eventually get this: grass gone to seed... 

Sage in full bloom...
