Magnified Hummingbird Feathers



Here are 2 examples of highly magnified hummingbird feathers taken from my specimen by Stephen Buckman here in Tucson. The red feathers are from his throat, and the green ones are from his back. I wish I could make these pictures bigger, so you could really see the intensity of the details.

Okay, I know a bunch of people are looking at this blog but except for my mom, a guy that calls himself a mantis and an artist friend of Jessa, I'm feeling kind of lonely throwing the comments out. Not only does she give us great paintings to look at but she lets us see Magnified Hummingbird Feathers! A hundred years from now people are going to talk about how James & Jessa started a new art movement! Throw them a comment & feed the dream!
