I've been enjoying the daily antics of these little creatures.






And I just love the Giant Swallowtails, they're my favorite butterfly.

Thanks everyone. We just got a new camera, so I've been conquering the learning curve by taking a few hundred photos a day! The camera does most of the work for you, which is really nice.

We purchased a Nikon D40 kit, and comes with the Nikkor 18-55mm AF lens. These photos were taken with a macro lens from our old camera (that was also a Nikon/film camera). That's the only way I can get close enough to the hummers not to disturb them, causing them to fly away.
