I took this photo at Cypress Bend in western Louisiana.
Beauty Of A Thorn This well-known thistle is a true nightmare to all the local farmers. At one point I think there was even a law passed saying that people could be fined if it was found growing unchecked on their property. / It is such an invasive plant that it will take over an entire pasture or field, and farm animals won’t/can’t eat it, and it’s a real problem in the hay. / On the other hand, its a blessing for the many butterflies that migrate through this area, and it provides much-needed food and energy for the pretty little creatures that have such long flights ahead of them, or maybe are just at the end of their life spans. / I have also noticed that hummingbirds love it as well. Being a photographer, I do love its exotic blooms and the many photo opportunities it provides. / The sad but true thing is, the only way to control it is to destroy it completely! It’s amazing that something so beautiful and so useful for the nectar lovers, is also such a thorn in the side for the farmers. / Photo taken along a road side in NW Arkansas, USA. As Is… / Canon PowerShot S3 IS /
Not only humans can enjoy the drive in window at Sonic or McDonald’s; hummers have their own variety. Sip and hover is their version of a slush on the run! Ruby-throated hummingbird enjoying the nectar of bottlebrush blossom!
I love the website “Whatbird.com” because it not only describes each bird but also provides an audio clip of its song. The “song” of a hummingbird sounds more like the whirring of an engine or some kind of alien hovercraft than an actual song! I never tire of watching these energetic little feather balls hovering, sometimes only inches away from me! Click here to see and hear the ruby-throated hummer on whatbird.com
Winsor & Newton Watercolours on Strathmore Cold Press Watercolor Paper. I then drew with Ink Pen the branches and outlined the bird and flower. This was really fun to drawn & paint, I had no idea where I was going with it, but I really like the vibrant colors that came out of it. I’m going to think of it as a bright new beginning to my artwork ♥
