Ruby-throated hummingbird

Not at all what I visualized as I squeezed the shutter, but regardless of that here it is.
Thank you! We appear to have a pair of resident hummingbirds in the garden behind us. I would love to be able to record the aerial dances they do for each other, but they cover so much ground in almost no time at all, it‘s impossible (for me, anyway). They stop and rest regularly on this tomato cage, and don’t seem to mind me all that much at this point. I don’t see near as many other birds out there now, I guess they just relax in the trees after the mating season. Just the hummingbirds and the goldfinches. We already have monarchs everywhere, but they’re too busy fighting with each other to land and eat!
I just dug out my Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens and took it for a spin around the garden...
Nikon D5200, Nikon 35mm, 1/800 @ f/1.8

this is a fritillary of some sort for those of you keeping score.
Planning a trip to the zoo this weekend, if I can stand the heat. Haven’t been since 2016 when I took this.

Fallen decaying tree - life goes on w/mosses, fungi, et al. Photo taken at local municipal park, this time last year. Camera on iPad Mini 4.
Bumble on old Allium. Not sure why it was on there - we keep some of the old stalks around in our garden for their nice structure, but there she was, having a nice time. Haven't shot my d850 in a while.

Sunset on Tatooine last night.
But in reality just a funny effect with a less than clean lens on my iPhone and shooting into the sun.
