Gentle Touch

"On August 30, 2024, at 8:48 a.m., I captured a female Broad-billed Hummingbird delicately touching a red baby sage flower at Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary, Hereford, AZ. Her wings spread wide in mid-flight, showcasing her iridescent feathers. To help maintain the existence of this magnificent bird, plant nectar-rich flowers like trumpet-shaped blooms or red salvia in your garden. Support conservation efforts, reduce pesticide use, and address climate change. Every small action helps preserve their habitat and ensures the continued thrill of witnessing these avian wonders."

I download the image through Adobe Bridge, then Processed it in Photoshop. I added contrast, sharpen a little, and cropped it.
