MAY HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF - Caught this female Hummingbird on a Clethra bloom yesterday. Have not seen a Hummer since...which may mean they have left on their migration journey. The males had already gone and only a couple of females were still around last week.
I USED TO FLY TO NEW YORK CITY OFTEN back when I was working for Scitex calling on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone - and when I flew into LaGuardia Airport, I would fly pretty close to the World Trade Center towers. I shot this photo on the way home one evening and break it out on 9/11 anniversaries.
LOOK MOM, NO HANDS - A Painted Turtle balances on the top of a rock on Mill Pond. Its' top spot position did not last long as a slightly larger turtle approaches to claim the spot.
EVERY LAST BITE - A Monarch butterfly on an almost gone Zinnia blossom. Late Summer Monarchs are the ones that migrate to Mexico - so we won't be seeing them much longer.
