Hummingbird

I took this picture in my parents' backyard. My maternal grandmother loved hummingbirds and every time I see one (alive or not) I think of her. I wonder if that's what motivated my mom to hang this out in the yard.

It also reminds me of a saying I discovered in the package when I recently bought a Papyrus greeting card. It says:

Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation.
