This hummingbird moth zooming in for a taste of a black-eyed Susan looks more like a country shot than one taken a busy street in Belgrade. I saw this little bugger (pun intended) hovering around the flowers and took about 10 shots. Only this one turned out just right, with the moth centering itself unintentionally (or maybe it felt sorry for me) on the oval of a satellite dish. And I didn't crop this one either!Join ABC Wednesday at: http://wednesdayabc.blogspot.com/

This photo is so pretty !
Magic! I've confused those little moths for hummingbirds more than once in my garden.
You know, Bibi, life is funney. I love taking photos and have a posh Canon digital SLR camera that cost a fortune. Plus lenses and tripods and whatever. My wife has - by choice - a simple little Canon Ixus camera - an instamatic.
Who takes the best shots? Really hard to say because it is not all about skill and dedication, it is about being there at the right moment and taking the bloody photo.
And that is a very remarkable photograph, it is so rare that I see photos as good as that - whoever takes them.
Thanks a million
