4. Beautiful. Every time I think this old world is hard to take,

I see things like this. Thank you. We have several hummer feeders here.
I can hear them in the air, the whirring of their wings.
There is a nearby canyon, Ramsey canyon. Centuries ago when this area
began to dry up, hummers were forced to retreat to "sky islands", like the
nearby Huachuca Mts. Ramsey Canyon is home to a few species of
hummers that exist nowhere else.
