Jim from
Nebraska about 8years ago said: Thank you, dear friends, for the warm welcome! This photo was taken in the rainforest of the Costa Rican highlands.The hummingbird is a male Magnificent (that's the name of the species).I don't know the name of the pink orchid or the white fungus growing on the hummingbird's perch. The Magnificent hummingbird has an iridescent purple forehead when viewed full-face.

Nazareth about 8years ago said: Ohhhhhhh! What a great capture!! So nice to see a photo taken by you, Jim. It's been a while - I was wondering if perhaps you weren't well. Do hope you are doing well. Oh, that fence in the moon photo was not mine. I was actually walking back to my home (after taking Super Moon shots at a local park) and I saw the fence/tree scene.
