The nice color contrast turns it into a special shot.
Nicely done!
Thanks, Belinda! I just posted an edit, I had inadvertently called the flower a Lily, and it is an Iris. 🙃
Thank you, Belinda!
Oh very, very cute Ellen! Love this! 🙂
Thanks, Liz, glad it made you smile!
I never fail to be startled by the bright emerald green of Eastern Pondhawks. I love that you were able to capture shots of it perching on colorful flowers–most of the time I see them perching on the ground on on low vegetation.
That green is a fabulous color and I had a great opportunity with the flowers almost at my eye level the way the pond edge sloped. I was surprised, too, using that ground perching behavior to help identify doesn’t always work!
