North American Influence

My greatest delight was to see the hummingbirds!
I had seen sunbirds and hand reared a purple rumped sunbird in Sri Lanka.
I have recreated these jewels on the wing with an adoration straight from my soul.
My life list bird watching is in the 4.000's.
I have traveled to over 3/4 of the United States
appreciating the beauty of her nature and wildlife. After becoming a US citizen, I set time aside to recreate the beauty all around me.

An Ode to Cardinal Love

She sits In the adoration of her protector
Each bite first tested
Each call for her benefit
He puffed with the pride of brilliant reds Watches her every moment
As she accepts
A lifetime of his courtship.
