An amazing image from "The Backyard of KC."

Perhaps a title for a compilation?

Wow, this tiny bird looks insect-like compared to the huge flower. It makes sense that they fulfil a similar role in pollination. Beautifully lit, with only some half illuminated leaves as background, the rest in darkness. Expert work KC.

I just read that hummingbirds share a common ancestor with swifts. Fascinating example of evolution in action.

LOL just shows how very small they are, doesn't it.

A terrific picture you've taken of this wee hummer lass - many thanks.
