Hummers, goldfinch and swallowtail all in the garden. The background on the goldfinch is cedar siding on my workshop, all except the swallowtail were shot with 400mm lens, and the swallowtail was with 200mm Nikon macro. The Japanese beetles are devouring everything now, so nice blooms will be harder to find. Have a great week!

Great series Glenn. The Goldfinch is a wall hanger for sure. The hummers are outstanding. The third one with the hummer sitting on a flower petal is priceless.

SpyderJan you always have a kind word thank you. The Goldfinch actually Goldfinches male and female landed in a patch of yarrow right next to my blind, about 24 inches from the end of my lens. All I could do was watch at that point then they both flew right in front of me to the Liatris but the male was on the back side of the plants so I was just able to get the female. Glad you liked her!
