Best I could do; BF flew all around the back yard twice, but never alighted...

Whoa such vibrant amazing hues! Technicolor. The intensity of the colors makes me think of the way antique prints were made with lead in the ink. Almost larger than life. I have nature prints from 1830's and they haven't faded.

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
