Right now at our place the Wild Bergamot is blooming and with these particular plants come the amazing Hawkmoths!
The first time we spotted them some years ago we were reminded of small Hummingbirds, as the little Hawkmoths flit from flower to flower and hover with rapidly beating wings. ( in the 5. picture the wings are but a blurr!)
Amazing little creatures. I used my Telephoto lens and snapped away.
And this little Toad just sat there on a stone, I thought it was kinda cute.
