Hi Dot. That is a good question. You have to take my word for it. It’s a matter of Faith? However, I could clearly see it was a bat flitting about. Photographing bats in the dark is a real challenge. There are times I get clear photos of the bats, but they are extremely difficult to photograph clearly in the twilight.
I’ll take your word for it then, since you sound so sure about it 🦒 Thankfully you took it in the twilight – I find myself doing better without having to look at a bat too up close … The room for imagination you leave in your Batstractions is much appreciated 🍄
Thanks for sharing. I’m trying not to feel batty, I should look up why it’s called that. A bat magically appeared in the living room years ago. After an hour-ish, I got it out. Thankfully my son came to visit because this required 4 hands & double the patience. It was frozen in fear & exhaustion when I took the lid off the basket. It was stupid, but I couldn’t resist petting it. It was amazingly soft. We made eye contact & it flew away after about a minute. Good times
We have bats here in NC that are always flying about. I don’t know if I have ever seen anyone take photos of bats, these are amazing and they are lightening fast. Beautiful work Tim. Love Joni
Bats a very difficult to photograph. A biology professor I know who is really into bats, developed super high speed flash in the 1980s to photograph bats. He has super photos of bats from that time.
Well the photographs are amazing. They are so fast when they dart from tree to tree in the dusk here that there almost gone before you see them. Have an amazing day my friend. Hugs Joni
Off Center & Not Even 
Those are neat images! We have plenty of bats here too. I like to watch them at dusk.
Hi Lavinia. I’ve only seen one bat so far.
We don’t really see them on the farm until summer here when the bugs are flying about.
How can you be sure it’s a bat? Seems to me it could also be a bag gone with the wind 🎈

Here are a couple of posts on T&L photos that show the bats more clearly: TBA –https://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2018/5/tba. Batty – https://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2018/4/batty.
Still love Batstractions better🐝
LOL Good for you for trying for that bat, Tim. You’ve got some interesting compositions there.
Thanks, Amy Rose.
You are so welcome, Tim!
Very cool effects, Tim. Bats are interesting critters. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks, Teagan. Hugs from a bat wing.
Nice spooky bat-derived images! They fly so fast!
Thanks, Leah. And they are very erratic in flight.

Hi Dawn. I know all about chasing critters around the house. Bats do have really soft fir.
Ha. I see! 🙂
I love bats and I hate they have such a bad reputation, they are really wonderful and beneficial creatures, and cute too!
Bats are wonderful little creatures. Thanks, Tiffany.
I researched it, too much to type. In short, batty refers to bats in the bellfry which means (sort of) flighty & sporadic up top there, mentally.
: )
I like bats but the spidery one is a little spooky!
Thanks Susan.
Awesome pics Timothy!
Thanks, Holly.
My pleasure
Very neat! Bat Spirit in the Sky!
They look like spirits in the sky the way the flit around so quickly. Thanks, Resa.

Yours are pretty amazing. I wondered about that exray shot, that was really cool. Anyway some great photography my friend. Hugs J
Their skeletons show very well around the membranes of their wings.
