I was shooting into the sun so the sky is blown, but the hawk isn’t. 😀

I don’t have much in new content so, I’m reaching into my archives. This image was from a trip to a safari zoo here in Nevada during a time #1 Grandson was here on a visit.
I love its eyes! Not looking at me but, very aware of my camera and presence. Very keen and crafty for sure!!
I hope your week is going well. We’re halfway through it!

We’ve had two female, and one male Black-chinned Hummingbird regularly visiting my feeder. I like to think the females are mother and daughter, and the male is the father. However, all is not peaceful around the feeder oh no, they’re fighting for territorial rights! The two females have no problem drinking together, but the male has sharing issues.
When I first put the feeder up it was only the male coming by, but then a female found it, and now a second female started coming by about 2 weeks ago. I think I’ll need a second feeder soon. I’m refilling the feeder every 4-5 days.
Here’s a still one of the females on approach. She’s so tiny!
I love seeing them coming by on and off all day.
We have had #1 Grandson for an extra week which has been wonderful, but, it’s about to come to an end… really he’s going home this week-end. School starts up soon for him.
I hope your week is going well, and your week-end is wonderful.

We’ve been having thunderstorms with lightening almost every day lately so I wasn’t sure I’d be able to see or photograph this month’s full Moon. The day before the full Moon we had storm clouds rolling in all afternoon, but then it cleared up about an hour before Moonrise so, I thought I’d photograph it in case the following night was too overcast to photograph it.
While waiting for the moon to rise enough to get past the mountains I saw a couple of people in Motorized-gliders flying around the mountain where the moon would rise. I hoped they were going to stay long enough for the moon to rise, and fingers crossed one or both would do a moon fly-by. One did!!
It looks like a big bug doesn’t it? The sun was still up so the moon is really faded/washed out.
The following night there were enough breaks in the clouds that I was able to photograph the Full Moon. This is a two frame composite image.
One frame exposed for the sky and foreground and the other exposed for the Moon. I blended the frames in Photoshop.
June’s full moon gets one of its names from the wild strawberries that begin to ripen during the early summer and be gathered by Native American tribes.
Other names for June’s Full Moon are:
Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon.
Yesterday the wind really picked up tossing two patio chairs across the patio, one cushion was blow across the entire patio, and a planter tipped over. The Zephyr wind wins again!😂 We also had some thunder and a little lightening, but both were several miles away.
Saturday #1 Grandson is coming to visit for a week or two for summer. We have plans to hit the grocery store and library straight-away. We hope the weather improves so we can go to the lake and take him paddling.
That’s all from here. I hope you’re having a good week!
