30 Words: Hum





Zipping,
Darting,
Aerial acrobatics.
 
I feel more than see
The movement of this
Tiny creature.
 
Waiting patiently,
Camera ready,
A fleeting moment
Of clarity.
 
Caught
In
Mid-
Motion
Wings
Blur.
 
This week's 30 Word Thursday photo was taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum during an outing there last week to help with a lecture on mead making.  Since I had my camera, I decided to wander a bit.  A very nice lady waved me down and pointed out this little fellow to me...I spent quite a bit of time waiting for the perfect shot and wishing I had a telephoto lens instead of my fixed focal length Macro lens!  I had to wait until he was just in the right spot to get a good pic.  These guys are incredibly fast!  Check out the other contributors to 30 Word Thursdays at Erin's Treasures Found Blog.
