CFFC – Fascinatingly Colorful Birds


On recent trip to the hummingbird sanctuary at the San Diego Zoo, I discovered a myriad of colorful South American birds. I thought they would be a perfect fit for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge (CFFC) – four or more colors in one photo.

I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me.
