owls can’t move their eyes so they move their heads.
Here’s a couple that I had to double-check to make sure they were real:

Tuffed Coquette Hummingbird. This guy’s beautiful but looks a bit like he was made by committee.
I think this is a painting, though I found it on a bird site.

OMG–I can’t believe the colors, and the cuteness. The colors just take my breath away–it’s hard to imagine that someone didn’t put those colors together, although nature is the one!
Thank you!
Why don’t I ever see these out doors? I have to travel man!
Utterly Beautiful…………..
beyond beautifull
I am so very glad there is still beauty in this world . GOD is surely a wise creator.
mother nature certainly does some wonderful work. thanks to all who prepared these photos.
The “Saiba Mais” looks like someone smooshed two different birds together! These are wonderful.
ah, dusky,
beauteous again……
that mama duck certainly had a huge clutch (if that’s what it’s called). so persistent, too.
interesting to learn the owls can’t turn their eyes!
The vibrant colors, the birds and the butterflies confirms my view that the creator is the greatest of artists. of course the photographers have contributed to a large extent for all of us to enjoy such great sights.
Thanks, dusky for exposing me to unseen bird and butterflies. the video at the end shows that the mother duck knew exactly how many are to follow and waits till all of them triumph and join the mother duck before she leaves, great.
can’t help but ponder the reality of all these images. Natural laws, over billions of years, have led to this glorious and wondrous present, where so much beauty and diversity exists. I’m sorry that my mains two thoughts are that my time as part of it all is finite, and secondly, that nature has produced humans, which though it is a magnificient feat, may prove to be a brake on it all. The sun and planet will carry on for some time longer, who knows what species or whcih humans (if any) will live or become extinct.
Genius! You’re bringing pure joy to untold numbers of people with these collections. There may be a commercial angle to it all but I didn’t detect it and am not gonna look for one. It appears to be from the heart and nothing more!
Thanks Bill. You’re right. I do it for the pleasure of searching and then sharing the wonders.
Thank you Dusky !! Awesome and Wonderful. Makes my day 🙂
My eyes are dazzled, thank you for collecting such beautiful sights. God and nature have combined to make a wonderful pallette of colour. If it was not for you we would never have the chance to see these creatures.
THERE IS A GOD
If you don’t believe in God, just look around and you might change your mind. These animals, birds, and butterflies are spectacular!!
WOW !! Great job, Thank You ….
WOW. The beauty and sheer variety of birds (and butterflies!) never ceases to amaze me.
You have no idea of the joy and beauty you bring into people’s lives .
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Many, many thanks to the person(s) who put this together….
Eye has not seen, hear has not heard what GOD has ready for those who love him. Can’t wait to see what GOD has in store for us in heaven!!
Gorgeous
