(working with my new lens)

Mariposa

Big leaf, little butterfly

The camouflage butterfly. I waited and waited for the wings to open, but she had more patience.

Displaced nest

Vision blurred, I accidentally pulled down a birds next while tearing the vines off the garage. Boo. All that hard work. Seems like it was vacated, hopefully they had already chose to live elsewhere.

Winter sumac

Dunes and driftwood

Dragon fly?

Flutter flutter, nectar is sweet.

Russian Sage, I'm here to eat.

He didn't budge or flinch and my camera hardly zooms. I was afraid I would get stung by the other insects enjoying the sweetness. Dragonfly with a question mark, because I have never seen one sit still for so long. And it was HUGE.
