Description

I spend hours watching and waiting for these fascinating creatures called a Sparkling Violetear, no fatter than my thumb, to fly up and entertain me. I had been moving the feeder closer and closer until it was inside the room about 15” and they continued to come in the house for their meal.

Then this little guy, who I have now named Tom Thumb, graduated to eating from my hand. See http://youtu.be/hQEkObLN9Ag

This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America from my bedroom office window.
The flower market beide the cathedral in Cuenca has been recognized as the #1 flower market in the world. Ecuador is the world's #1 supplier of roses in the world and has the ability to grow almost any kind of plant in its varied ecosystems. Most of the world's orchid varieties may be found in Ecuador as well.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from my photograph taken July 1/12 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Cuenca is a World Heritage Site.
