    Excellent! A sip of sunshine at 10,000 feet—proof that even at the roof of the world, flowers still find their dance partners.

    Hey Trent—same deal I offered Alan: come down for a few days, camera in hand, and go wild with the hummers. Summers here are toasty, and the bird action’s a bit slow, but there’s still plenty worth pointing a lens at.

    Someday, you will have to come down and spend a weekend with me during migration, and you can get hundreds of photos worth keeping.

    Another fly.

    Thanks so much for the kind words, Trent. I appreciate you reading along, and I’m glad the stories are landing well with you! Totally understand about the comments; Substack can be a bit limiting without an account. No worries at all — just knowing you're enjoying it is more than enough. Hope...

    Another fly.

    Incredible skills and a stunning macro — absolutely flawless! Thanks so much for following my Substack. I actually wrote a little fable today about the life of a fly… as told by the fly.

    Winged Wednesday: Sphinx Moth 8/6/2025

    It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show—but not all the stars of the sky are birds. This week, I’m shining a light on a master of twilight: the sphinx moth. Fast, precise, and often mistaken for a hummingbird, it’s a creature that’s easy to miss—until it...

    Great hummingbird shots, Alan. I prefer low front light, and the shallowest depth of field makes all the difference in hummingbird photography. On your perched hummer, if he returns to that spot over and over, try placing a uniform cloth or backdrop on the ground to eliminate the grass—it’ll...

    e you kidding me, Trent? That Goldenrod Crab Spider and Hoverfly deserve top billing—wings or no wings! The drama, the detail, the timing… pure arthropod opera. And your other four shots? Flawless and stunning, every single one. Honestly, I think you should be moderating Winged Wednesday. You’ve...

    It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show—but this week, the birds are sharing the stage. Whether it buzzes, flits, hovers, or folds its wings like origami, if it can fly, it qualifies. Today, I’m contributing a few of my favorite insects: a dragonfly, a...
