Some of my favorite photos. All photos by me, unless otherwise noted.

Delicate flower stalk made up of over a dozen hot pink flowers. Each flower looks like a miniature elephant head, complete with floppy ears and a curling trunk.
Large, white flower with blue streaks stands above long linear leaves.
A hummingbird hovers in front of a long red flower as the bird carefully inserts its bill into the flower.
A hummingbird flies off with a beak-full of hair for its nest.
A hummingbird faces the viewer. Its wings are fully extended, as are feathers in its "armpits" acting as air breaks.
Close-up of an iridescent green-backed humming bird with rust-red sides and green dotted gorget around it's throat is hovering in front of a closed red tubular flower. There is purple pollen dusting its forehead. The hummer's needle-like beak has found a way into the closed flower!

Cedar Waxwing sitting in a chokecherry tree that is covered with old fruit, one of which is in it's mouth. Cedar Waxwings are buff birds overall, with yellow on their lower bellies, and white under their tails. They have a striking black mask that runs over the top of their beaks, across their eyes and on to the top of their heads. They have a crest of feathers at the top.

Red-tailed hawk launches itself from a branch. One of its wings is completely under the bird as it pushes off in a powerful down stroke to get enough lift to fly. Its gaze is fixed on something in front of it.
A small grey bird with a pinkish-yellow beak and a black streak across it's eye and rusty sides perches on a branch amid other branches surrounded with ice crystals.
