It was a hot August day, one of those when I am thankful for air conditioning! I was outside quite a bit, watering flowers and later on sitting on the porch swing reading (a great biography of Daniel Boone) but I was happy to go inside and cool off every so often. Down in the zinnea garden I was able to photograph a beautiful black swallowtail butterfly who was sampling quite a few of the blossoms. Several days ago I was lucky enough to capture some good shots of a female hummingbird sipping nectar from the honeysuckle vine flowers. While I am content with my point and shoot Canon, every so often I think about how much better my pictures would be with an SLR camera. But nothing can match the enjoyment of bird and butterfly watching with my own eyes!
