It only took me 3 days!!!

For three days, I've been trying to get a good pic of a Hummingbird Moth. Today, I finally got one I liked. They are fast!!! They get a quick drink of nectar and they are gone! I love their little tails! :0)

I also got a really good pic of a stick impersonating a snake! LOL!!! The birds were fussing at something in a tree and I thought I saw a snake. I took several pics, before I realized it was just a stick! :0)

Thank you for all your views, comments, and faves the past few days! I really appreciate them!!! :0)
