Last summer I saw the Hummingbird Moth for the first time on my Azalea bush. I had the top window down and sitting on washing machine! it was so fast, I just could not focus soon enough. This year my tripod and focus will be set for its visit. I love this photograph, and it is a big inspiration to me. Thank you
