Marin County, Cali

I was taking a photograph of the flower, and just as I snapped, this insect flew into the frame. I had thought it was a bumblebee, but after I showed the photo I was informed that it is a moth (Hemaris diffinis) that mimics a bumblebee, both in appearance and behavior. It lingered at the flower for about a second, but my photo caught the tongue extended into the flower.

Thanks, I'm normally fiddling with settings and miss shots like that. I captured a few more as it was on continuous drive ๐Ÿ˜€

Of me, not by me. An education on how to come up short on a stair gap then gap the next set to entire body plant. How I didn't break my neck neither me nor the docs will ever know!

Marin County, Cali

Giro d'Italia, 1985

I had a press pass, so I was in a follow car inside the barriers when we came upon this scene. I only had time for one shot before the police chased me away. The magazines didn't care to run this one.

Magazines have changed since then.

Marin County, Cali

MTB tour of Canada's Northwest Territories. We stopped next to a stream for a drink, and heard splashing. This caribou ran up the middle of the creek, with a gaping wound in its neck and a big flap of skin hanging from it.
