Present From God

I just happened to walk into the garage and I saw this little guy frantically trying to fly through the window. Somehow he had flown in through the open garage door. When I came out I may have startled him and he got confused and tried to leave through the glass window.

This picture isn't very clear because I was trying to hurry so I could get him back outside. But you can see some of his color.
Here's from a slightly different angle. Notice how the color changes from gold to red.
Beautiful!
Look how fast he took off. Here you see him...
...and here you don't!

Tina,
Nice pictures--hhmmm--the one where the hummingbird's face is peeking out of your hand made me think of that National Wildlife Federation photo contest. Maybe you have an entry photo here.

A true gift to actually hold in your hand, what a Merry Christmas his little family had!!

A year or two ago, I found a hummer trappedin a spiderweb in the garage. As I freed it, I thought how amazing it is to hold that tiny vibrant life in your hand . . . you know too.
