"Rara Avis..."
...means "rare bird", and this is a series of pictures of one such creature. Sent to me via e-mail by a friend, I happily share it with you all! Enjoy!

Very pretty.
I do feel a bit sorry for hummingbirds. They're at the other end of the evolutionary scale from sloths. Hummingbirds use up so much energy flying that they have to spend every waking moment feeding on their high calorie diet of sugar rich nectar, visiting hundreds of flowers every day. Most of their brain capacity is used up building up a mental map of the flowers they visit, so they can plan a route that includes as many refilled nectar sources as possible. They are slaves on an evolutionary treadmill of survival.
I think I'd rather be a sloth, even with all the mouldy stuff growing on the fur. Eat slow, digest slow and ponder. :)
*chuckles*
You make a good point.
Breathtaking!
Absolutely!
Had to happen eventually. lol.
I had to comment on these wonderful images. Rara Avis is a big part of my novel, part of the prophecy. :o). Thanks for sharing these. They are very pretty and truly it is a rare bird. The photos are amazing.
God bless...
Yes they are, Mari!
*grins*
Miss Banana saw this and wishes she has a pet hummingbird - when I told her it would be a sin to keep God's creatures in cage, the bird would be unhappy not to be free................then little girl started to cry..............and was sorry she even suggested the idea!!
OMG!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
Beautiful photos....thanks for sharing.
Been a good mama! :)
You're welcome! :)
The hummingbird is the national bird of Jamaica, which is part of why I find these pictures so appealing!
(Going home now...later!)

Well, some lessons cause tears, love, but those are often the best-learned ones!
I can take care of myself Jillian, and I've known Kata for many years, and she can take care of herself, too! :)
Isn't it, Luxy? :)
yes, she is okay now.....over her tears and knows now that beautiful things made by God are gifts.........
AMEN!!!
See? Lesson well learned! Good job, Mama! *smile*
