Waiting for the hummingbird to appear at the feeder is the definition of faith. I kept making hummingbird water (boil one cup distilled water + 1/4 cup sugar) all Summer long. Yet the hummingbird, who had appeared Summer after Summer did not appear! Finally near the end of August he came! What jubilation! And he returned again and again, so I was able to get a good look at him (though he drank that stuff mighty quick!) and I painted him.
I grew up in Los Angeles where I saw hummingbirds every day. They hovered over my head as I lay under the fucshia bush. I loved hummingbirds, but took them for granted before I moved to New Jersey, where the ruby throated hummingbird does exist, but is very elusive!
