oh--i am thrilled all the way to my heart
I am so happy that I stopped by today. These hummingbirds are so beautiful=:)
very nice birds
Found two framed Gould's Hummingbirds at the second hand shop today and was searching to find out something about them since I don't know anything about originals or anything about prints...uhmmmm....Anyway, landed here on this blog which seems very interesting! So I will continue reading! :)
Unbelievably beautiful, I'm so inspired.
Que c'est BEAU ... EB
