Description
I have been waiting for this very large and old lilac tree to come into bloom, I have visited it in the past and always amazed by what visits it. This tree is buzzing with activity and it never disappoints. Every day this week, I would load our dogs up after I was off work and take a little drive. I could spend hours just sitting there watching and listening to not only the buzzing of pollinators, but the birds singing nearby too.I lucked out on this shot, getting not only one, but two Clearwing Hummingbird Moths in one photo. These little guys are so quick, so even just having one in a photo it exciting!
