Hummingbird, June 2014, hovering by the trumpet creeper.  

 

Dragonfly just emerged from its chrysalis, August 2014.

Just before it took off.  The entire birth/transformation process took place in less than an hour.  I photographed this just a few days before a friend passed away.  We had the honor of assisting him in his passing, and learned later that the dragonfly was his totem.
