I took this picture in a warm evening of July. My mind and heart was filled of deep emotions because my Mom passed away a couple months ago. At that moment of loneliness, I remember that the only thing that made me feel close to her it was to take pictures in her favorite place, her garden, where birds and flowers enchanted the day. That afternoon a hummingbird showed up. I could say that I felt my Mom saying Hi little one! Go and spread love and peace to the world! An expression that she used to say. It was a gift, a precise moment dedicated for myself. I laid down on my knees slowly and quietly to the grass. I focused on silhouette of the bird and I shoot its unpredictable fly. I wanted to capture the meaning of its presence in my heart, instead of details of its unique beauty. Today, I look at the picture and it means a lot to me, almost like a prayer.
