Photo by :: risquillo on :: flickr :: Panchis * * * * “Either you take in believing in miracles or you stand still like the hummingbird. The worst is not death but being blind, blind to the fact that everything about life is in the nature of the miraculous. The language of society is conformity; the language of the creative individual is freedom. Life will continue to be a hell as long as people who make up the world shut their eyes to reality.” ― Henry Miller, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird [alive on all channels]
Blue-headed Sapphire by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: High in the Andean foothills at Mirador Barlovento above Pradera, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, I photographed this male Blue-headed Sapphire (Chrysuronia grayi) perched in elegant profile on a slender branch during soft late-afternoon light. His head glows with intense violet-blue iridescence that transitions beautifully into vibrant emerald and turquoise across the body, while a long coral-red bill adds striking precision against the soft forest bokeh. Shooting in Program mode on the Canon R5 with the RF 100-500mm at 500mm, I pushed the ISO to 3200 in the fading light and let the camera select 1/350 second at f/6.7 from 3 meters away. This gave me clean detail on the iridescent plumage while preserving the gentle atmosphere of the scene. This image highlights the remarkable beauty of one of Colombia’s more localized hummingbirds and the rich biodiversity of the western Andes. ©2026 Adam Rainoff Photographer
This morning I was standing on my balcony enjoying the early morning sun and a cup of green tea. I recently hung a hummingbird feeder that wasn’t getting much visitation. I was thinking about moving it to another section that might be more convenient for hummbird air traffic. I’m staring at the feeder while pondering its relocation when a large hummbird zips in, takes several long drinks from my feeder, poops on my patio, and zips off. The feeling I had in that moment was so euphoric it’s hard to describe. Pure elation. So amazing. The sun peeked further from the trees in that exact moment. My entire body was warmed. I raised my hands in celebration of that moment. It felt reaffirming of my compentency. To be chosen by nature to experience that exact moment. Nature is both artist and muse.
