Photo of the Week - Dainty

"Dainty"

This photograph is from the "Hummingbird Project" Collection.  ********** It is that time again.  Time for the flowers to bloom and the hummingbirds to arrive to once again fill our lives with their magic.  There is simply no bird on earth that can do what the hummingbird can.  It can hover, back up and turn 360 degrees in one spot.  They are something like the helicopter of the bird world, except much more stunning. I entitled my image "Dainty", because that is certainly the perception we get from viewing these creatures, but if you know anything about the hummingbird, you know they are aggressive toward any other hummer who wanders  into their territory. I have actually witnessed them knock themselves out by flying into a tree while dive bombing another. However, with the male ruby-throated gorget shinning in the sun like rubies, and the small flowers it is often associated with, they demonstrate that beauty and strength are indeed possible.  When I think of this wonderful bird, I think of beauty first, because there is simply nothing to compare!
