In My Own Back Yard

May 29, 2013 by Barb 7 Comments

I took at least 50 photos yesterday, and deleted about 40. I don’t usually have such a poor outcome… but nature, light breezes, and sprinkles of rain can play havoc on a scene.

I did manage to get three insects, which made me happy! Two were taken with my 40mm fixed lens.

This Hemaris Thysbe paid me a visit when I was trying to photograph some lilacs. Well, I failed miserably on the lilacs, but Mr. HT saved the day.

And, one of my favourite flowers, the anemone is in bloom. It’s sort of taking over the garden, and that’s fine with me.

Thank you for stopping by, and here’s to a productive day for all!

    Beautiful images! I’d say the effort was well worth your time even if some of the shots didn’t come out how you wanted. Happens to me a lot! Is that third shot a hummingbird moth? I’ve always wanted to see one.

    Barb, under the circumstances, you did outstanding! I finally got some time after work to go outside and shoot BUT the rains over the past week basically took everything out and what was left look really sorry. Hoping to post my few shots soon…and they are FEW.
