Description
A beautiful capture of a Hummingbird enjoying the last of the Zinnia blooms as Summer ends and they start to make their journey South for the season. I have used a texture and digital painting effects that really turned this image into a piece of art. It would be beautiful in any room of your home, an office or even a waiting room.
Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds with iridescent feathers. Their name comes from the fact that they flap their wings so fast (about 80 times per second) that they make a humming noise. Hummingbirds can fly right, left, up, down, backwards, and even upside down. They are also able to hover by flapping their wings in a figure-8 pattern. They have a specialized long and tapered bill that is used to obtain nectar from the center of long, tubular flowers. The hummingbird�s feet are used for perching only, and are not used for hopping or walking.
Hummingbirds are found only in the Western Hemisphere, from southeastern Alaska to southern Chile, although most live in the tropics. There are more than 300 species of hummingbirds, 12 of which summer in North America and winter in tropical areas.
