A baby hummingbird with antennas & 6 legs?

Last night a Hummingbird Moth visited our Sonoran Desert Balcony Garden & the following link is an 8 second video of an ultra cool experience that exemplifies an Improvatude moment that made me forget dinner was ready as I enjoyed its company for 30+ minutes as it dined on our beautiful purple Russian Sage.

White-lined Sphinx 

Do you agree that a White-lined Sphinx Hummingbird Moth proboscis looks like the tongue of an anteater & an upside down noisemaker as it drinks nectar?

¡Pura Vida!

BALCONY GARDEN BIRDS

“I would like to paint the way a bird sings.” ― Claude Monet

I am horrible at painting but  my writing is flourishing as hummingbirds hover next to us, thanking us for the blossoming flowers that give them life!

“The bird dares to break the shell, then the shell breaks open & the bird can fly openly. This is the simplest principle of success. You dream, you dare & you fly.” ― Israelmore Ayivor
