In for a Treat

Photograph by Florian Kuster, National Geographic Your Shot

“This beautiful, coppery-headed emerald hummingbird had been dancing with this amazing flower in the Costa Rican highlands,” writes Your Shot member Florian Kuster. “His attitude, colors, and plumage were just sublime. One can see all the details of even the smallest feather despite the fast movement of the bird’s wings.”

11. October is my favorite month

But it's always been in a neck-to-neck race with May. I love May with all the pink and white dogwood, tulip,apple, plum, cherry trees plus all the flowers but the last few Mays have been rainy and windy, the flowers lose their petals and it might as well be April or late March.

October, however, will always be October. We can still get 80 degree days, the leaves turn regardless, not to mention Halloween!

By the way, I will share some more photos I took of that manzanita grove soon, does that sound OK?

I strive for shots like that. Maybe one day...
