Due to the amount of smoke in the air, we have had to stay indoors this holiday weekend. The air quality is at the “hazardous” level so we are advised not to go outdoors unless absolutely necessary. So I’ve been taking my hummingbird photos through the window.
It was difficult to get a clear shot of the dragonfly from indoors but I tried.

I’m hoping the wind will change directions this week and blow the smoke away from us.

Stunning shots. I hope the smoke clears soon.
Beautiful!
Wonderful images, Maralee – I would not even have known that they were taken through the window!
I also spare a thought for the wildlife that does not have the option of staying indoors to avoid the smoke hazard.
I worry about the little critters out there in the smoke and fire areas.
Amazing photos. I just installed a hummingbird feeder and the cats and I are spending way too much time watching them!
They’re fun to watch, aren’t they?
That first shot is wonderful! His little neck feathers 🙂
