Hummingbirds

I did not realize until today that the First Saturday in September is National Hummingbird Day. I may have missed the date but not the opportunity to share photographs and art work of hummingbirds. I have the pleasure of sharing my morning coffee with hummingbirds. Living in AZ we have several different hummingbirds that live here year round and some that just pass through. In my backyard I generally see Anna's, Costa's, Broadbill's and sometimes a Rufous.

Today's 30-30 challenge post is a mixed medium piece on canvas of a Anna. The photographs are from the Hummingbird Aviary in Tucson, Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and from my backyard in Scottsdale. Enjoy!
