An artistic attempt with a vintage Helios 44M-2 58mm Lens. I love the flare and bokeh it has created on this image.

I was out practicing with my Helios 44M-2 lens by photographing the vitex bush in the garden off of the back deck. This little hummer just happened to start feasting then. This is the only snap that was worth keeping. It's so difficult focusing on a fast moving subject with a manual, vintage lens.

Sweet autumn clematis (Clematis paniculata, Clematis terniflora) is one of the late-blooming clematis vines that features not only flowers different from most clematis, but also an unusually heady scent. Small, pure white flowers emerge in August and September and by fall, become a silvery mass of fluffy seed heads.
