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!

  1. 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.

  7. 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!
