Cactus Monday / Orange Hummingbird

Before  I completely fall of the Cactus Monday wagon (or our Chief Cactuteer throws me off herself)
here is my contribution for this week. Just a quick sketch of a Amazilia hummingbird on a cactus. Picture from the internet.
Last week, on a Monday I was in Miami and made this picture, but couldn't upload it then.
But I was thinking about you all!

Happy Cactus Monday!

    Good to hear you are busy traveling around Marianne. I really like the hummer and cactus. We have a Rufous Hummingbird in the West. It would be right at home on this cactus.

    This is wonderful. I have a thing for Hummingbirds anyway.

    OMG! Marianne...I cannot believe you had come so close to where I live!!! It seems surreal.

    You KNOW I love your orange hummer!!! Really gorgeous! Now, if only I could remember to do a Cactus Monday post! I'm sure Teri has given up on me!!! :(

    I love the shimmery look of the hummingbird - it's very pretty. I don't think she'll throw you off, I didn't participate for about 6 months but she took me back with open arms!
