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 July 15/13 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America from my bedroom office window.
Final processing done with Smart Photo Editor and Photoshop.
