Martha, these captures are amazing. Lovely capture of the hummer and your butterflies are gorgeous. So sharp and clear and the colours are stunning. This is excellent work.

Dave.

I've tried so many times to catch a shot of my humming birds but have about given up. We have plants, instead of a feeder, and they just move before I can even react to where they've been!

Lovely shot!

Nice shots. Really done well. Great colors and composition. How are things in the Nutmeg State?

Absolutely stunning, each and every one! Amazing focus, and the colors are to die for. One question - how on earth did you find a red lizard in CT? I've never seen one....was it really that color or did you do a bit of playing in PP?
