I have this Thing for Hummingbirds.

I think they are some of the most miraculous beings on the planet. Imagine having to suck multiple times your body weight in liquid food through a long skinny pipe every day!

And being able to look in the mirror to see all those flashy bright colors on your head and chest!

My mother’s mother was the first to photograph them flying backwards – or, that’s the Family Story, anyway. She had hundreds of photos of them. All in black and white, of course.

Now she’d be delighted to know how many species of hummers there are, and to see all the wild variances in color and size.

So here’s to Grammy – hope you can see this from Heaven!
