Closing out the summer gallery with three images of some feathered friends that will soon depart for southern regions.

With wings lifted like delicate translucent fans, she reaches for one of summer’s final drops of nectar — a poignant little moment before the flowers disappear and her southward journey begins....V

'Tis a wonder it was worth the effort. Surely this is a sign to get ready for departure.
