In the picturesque Carr Canyon, I was fortunate to capture a breathtaking moment of a Violet Crowned Hummingbird in mid-flight. The bird's orientation to the light source created a stunning effect, illuminating its delicate feathers and iridescent violet crown. The resulting image is a testament to the beauty and fragility of these avian wonders. It was a brief, shimmering moment, and I feel grateful to have preserved it forever.
