Super-tele bokeh can be your friend. I saw somewhere that a virus, or something that is killing off many honey bees. That swarm was in the middle of relocation when I caught them. I have no idea where they ended up, but they seemed very healthy. Dave

Yup, that is a good one too and fun times with the kids can't be beat.
Super tele bokeh is only as good as a clean background. When I sit and photograph my hummingbirds there are cars and houses in the background. They let me get very close without complaining, so I shoot at 5-20 feet against shrubbery or a blank wall.

Ha, so my name has actually always been Dmitriy ... I've recently (since about November) started to embrace it again. Those who know me as David can call me David, though I go by Dmitriy these days. I'm easy But, sure, it'd be great! |

Pretty sure there is a baby down below now. Looked like she was feeding it last weekend. They typically stay very deep in the nest for the first week or so. I hope to get a view this weekend, but I may be booked with other stuff.

I always like this part.
Every year we have 2-3 nests built on our house by the Finches and I can't wait to see when they start to pop up. Neither can our cats.

That's why I don't try to attract the hummingbirds we have around here. I don't want them to fall prey to the cats. Bad enough the cats nail a bluejay or cardinal every now and then.

They only get outside if they decide to do a jailbreak. That has only happened a few times.

The church at Ramsau, Germany during a stellar sunset. Taken on my recent ED trip. Many more photos in the blog in my signature.

After a disappointing evening on Monday, I went back to Portknockie last night as it looked so promising for a good sunset.
I started out in good light trying to capture some of the beautiful flowers on the cliffs. Shortly afterwards, the haar rolled in, obliterating everything. So with no chance of a sunset, I was back home before 10pm. Bow Fiddle Flowers_2 by Alan Butterfield, on Flickr

Robert,
Very nice blog. I'll have to go through it more thoroughly.
