Close-up portrait of a brightly colored bird with its beak wide open, appearing to be calling or singing. The bird features a stunning color combination with a vibrant yellow crown and chest, emerald green face and wings, and a striking blue streak along its neck. Its expressive dark eye and open beak give it an animated, lively appearance. The background is softly blurred in shades of green, keeping the focus on the bird's brilliant plumage and animated expression.

A planetary nebula, a glowing shell of material thrown off by a star. A small central region of greenish clouds is encircled by a glowing, jagged ring, like a hole torn in fabric. A band of silvery-blue clouds outside this is again encircled by a larger, fainter yellow ring of gas. Puffy, smoky clouds of orange and red gas billow out from there into a large oval nebula, fading into the dark background of space.

While not as showy as some Colombia hummingbirds, I really love the Indigo-capped Hummingbird. These have a very limited range in the central Andes.

Close-up portrait of a tiny bird with extraordinary iridescent plumage in brilliant emerald green that transitions to deep cobalt blue on its crown. The bird's feathers have a distinctive scale-like appearance that catches the light, creating a metallic sheen. It has a slender silver-white beak, a small dark eye, and darker wings with hints of purple. Perched on a thin twig against a soft, neutral beige-green background, the bird is captured in profile, showing off its perfect proportions and jewel-like coloration.
