Hummingbird's Home
I really wanted to capture the warm morning light and this tiniest of little
nests that hummingbirds inhabit. I once saw a picture of a baby, way overgrown, bigger than the
little nest really, just clinging to it so he could still sit there. The nests are miniscule.
We get them here in the summer on our beautiful Mimosa trees..and hummingbirds love the pink
flowers on the trees.
This little painting is for sale...it's already framed.

lovely painting. I like the bird's bright feathers. The background is also very nice.
