On my second visit to the roadside milkweed patch , I had morning light, which allowed me to shoot at lower ISO. This image of an adult male Rufous Hummingbird was cropped about 30%. Click here to see a previous image (shot at 3200 ISO) of an adult male hovering at a milkweed flower.

This photoblog is my nature journal and travelogue. Many of my wildlife images were made in environments impacted by humans. My goal is to feature each animal in a way that allows the viewer to sense the essence of its life in the wild. The purpose of the accompanying narratives is to enhance awareness and appreciation of our natural world, as well as to inspire everyone to protect and care for it.
