Carol- To enjoy hummingbirds and then to get a chance to see a beauty like this kind, is awesome. This is just gorgeous. Love the way you got it with its tail feathers spread out. The colors are so beautiful, I love the minute definitions of its features. This one will be enjoyed many times in my favorite folder. What a beauty.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #8838790
