Description
One of my regular visitors hovers a moment as he navigates his approach to the feeder. I consciously ask these amazing beings if they will hover away from the feeder for me so I can get clear shots. Often they are very agreeable. Maybe it sounds funny, but I often sense their willingness to help me, not easy when they move so amazingly fast. This is a male Anna's hummingbird flashing as he zoomed in for a drink! Light waves reflect and refract off the throat feathers, creating very vivid colors.
"Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty, and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence. Hummingbird brings the gift of joy. Learn to laugh and be happy."
