The most fascinating thing about these photos is the way light is scattered through the wings of hummingbirds in flight, resulting in a rainbow within the feathers of birds.
When I go for a walk in the park with my friend Max (my sister's dog) I've had the fortune to see the hummingbirds while they take the nectar from the flowers and flap their wings with incredible speed, it’s a beautiful spectacle and is one of the wonders that nature offers us. Don't be one of those people who don't take the time to stop and contemplate or to be amazed at the flight of a hummingbird.
In fact, hummingbirds are one of the most beautiful creatures on the Earth: don't you think? They are beautiful, intelligent, light, colorful, smart and so subtle that they almost go unnoticed
Did you know that hummingbirds are carriers of your dreams and desires?
There is an ancient Mayan legend that hummingbirds exist in the world for a very special reason, and that they were a creation very dear to the gods.
A Mayan legend tells that when the gods decided to create the wonders of the world ... trees, flowers, animals and humans they gave them a responsibility and a function in their life cycle.
This was a very heavy task, which left the Gods mentally and physically exhausted. Their exhaustion was such that they forgot to create a being in charge of transporting and transmitting their thoughts and wishes. It was in those moments that they decided to create the hummingbird. However, the Gods noticed that they had exhausted the creation materials of the animals; There was no more mud or corn.
So they took a small piece of jade. One of the most valuable stones, and with ingenuity and dedication the gods polished an arrow shape so that it always had a defined trajectory.
At the end they gave a strong blow to remove all the dust and give flight to their new creation.
The men were amazed at the multiple colors of the hummingbirds's feathers, but their nature of power and dominance was not satisfied just by seeing them, they wanted to catch them and use their plumage as a badge of power. The deities became aware of this conspiracy and let the men know that whoever stole a hummingbird from the heavens would be severely punished with a pitiful sentence
From then until today, it is said that if you see a hummingbird you should not try to touch or reach it, it’s not possible to keep them captive inside a cage prison.The Gods created hummingbirds to fly without limitations, and be free.
If you are lucky of this meeting try to convey your best thoughts and wishes, because according to the Mayan legend, when we see a hummingbird it means that it is bringing us a message of love and affection, probably from someone who is thinking of you, either in this Earth, or beyond.
You must not forget that if a hummingbird crossed your path, it surely flew to you to send you a wish or thought of love.
Have a lovely day.
