The Delicate and the Dead

I was pleasantly surprised to meet this little visage in my desert garden this evening.

He let me get my face inches close to him and I couldn't resist, I actually held him in my hands... then he fluttered away. What a magical moment to hold and inch and a half of hummingbird in my hands.

I am pleased to introduce the Dead part of our exhibit today....

This beauty was thankfully found, although not yet dead, outside my home :)
