Amazing image, Lorell.
It's simplicity is very pleasing, the colors are lovely, and your treatment of the light is perfect.
It manages to be both soothing and powerful.
I think this is one of your very best ever images.
I have no new photos worth sharing.
An update on the hummingbird family nesting just outside our front door...
The two chicks seem to be doing well. I was worried for a while when I hadn't seen the mother for a couple of days, but since then I've observed her feeding the tiny chicks (and that always looks alarmingly dangerous as the mother forcefully rams her long and sharp beak into the gaping mouths). She seems to spend little time on the nest, perhaps sleeping nearby during the night instead of in the nest.
I can't get a vantage point for good photos but the chicks should be in the early or middle stages of fledging now. I estimate they will leave the nest to begin their independent lives within 2 weeks.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
