For a long time, I have aspired to snap a picture of a hummingbird in the wild. A daunting task, as they appear to move at the speed of light. I finally succeeded. Yesterday, this male Anna’s Hummingbird landed on a branch and sat for more than a minute. He was so beautiful and peaceful. I was amazed that he stayed for such a long time.
After the little bird flew away, I turned and continued walking. My mind immediately began to wonder what was next…where should I go, what will I see? I happened to glance up and the hummingbird was there again right above me.
Then I got it...
I was so busy thinking and planning that I had stopped paying attention to the beauty and wonder right in front of me.
I’m grateful for the hummingbird’s message. I don't want to miss a moment of this amazing lifetime...
