I came home the other day and was surprised to see two deer as I pulled in the driveway. I got my camera off the seat, opened the door quietly, and took a few pictures, staying behind the car door. They spotted me though, and ran off.
The dragonfly held still for me as it was perched on the end of a twig.
The hummingbird is one that was feeding at a park visitor center. I had seen a couple of them buzzing past so I stationed myself near the feeder with my lens zoomed and focused on the feeder. It wasn't long before one of them came back. I got several blurry pictures and these two that are identifiable. Hummingbirds move pretty fast.Sometimes you have to be fast to get a picture and sometimes you have to be patient. Sometimes you have to be both.

ReplyDeleteWow, the deer is beautiful. Great photos of the little critters and the dog. Wonderful pics, Linda.
ReplyDeletea nice serie of critters today. Love both deer, butterflies, dragonflies and hummers.
ReplyDeleteGreat creature shots. I like the second one of the deer the best.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe deer are amazing but the dragonfly is fantastic. In the Netherlands we have dragonflies but not the ones that you show here. The butterfly is also very beautiful and also separate.
Greetings, Helma

ReplyDeleteDeer are quite skittish.
