Hummingbirds take frequent rests during the day. They don't really sleep, but their heart rate slows down and they may close their eyes #photography #birds

#photography #naturephotography #macrophotograpy The American Lady butterfly is just 2 inches across. But get down to its visual scale, and its complex wing patterns could be cover art for a fantasy novel.

Bumblebee queen approaching Baptisia The large size of this bumblebee identifies her as a queen. Queens are the only ones that survive the winter. At this time of year they're out gathering food they'll use to start their new colonies. #photography #insectphotography #bees #pollinators

The Blue Herons are back in Minnesota - but so are the Cormorants. They share rookeries but there is conflict over nesting spots. #photography #birds #naturephotography

"Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, Chicago," photographed by JimH Photo #photography #fotografia #PhotographersUnited #artistsofbluesky #art #supportartists Prints: www.framergallery.com/s/image/22206…

A child stands in front of the Crown Park Fountain in Chicago's Millenium Park. The fountain is 2 glass towers on which are projected images of Chicago citizens. At night, it's a powerful image of urban life in the 21st century.

A fabulous spiral staircase in the Rand Tower, Minneapolis. This classic Art Deco building, now a fine hotel, was completed in 1929.

On a very cold day in downtown Minneapolis, steam from the NRG district heating plant creates clouds around the Campbell Mithun Tower.

"Buckingham Fountain in Chicago," photographed by JimH Photo #photography #fotografia #PhotographersUnited #artistsofbluesky #art #supportartists Prints: www.framergallery.com/s/image/22235…

Chicago's Buckingham Fountain, which began operation in 1927, is one of the largest in the world. As part of Grant Park it's on the National Register of Historic Places. Here it's seen from Columbus Drive in August, with Lake Michigan in the background, under a crazy sky, with a plane towing an advertising banner overhead.

"Jazz in Millenium Park," photographed by JimH Photo #photography #fotografia #PhotographersUnited #artistsofbluesky #art #supportartists Prints: www.framergallery.com/s/image/22206…

A concert at Jay Pritzer Pavilion in Chicago's Millenium Park, part of the 2018 Chicago Jazz Festival. The Pritzker Pavilion is a great outdoor music venue with good sound and sightlines; it can accomodate audiences in the thousands. Its spectacular architecture is the work of Frank Gehry and it opened in 2004.. The skyscraper in the background is the Aon Center.
