Sheesh, this was way too hard to pick. I know that this is my most unique shot in that it is my rare "lottery win" when it comes to capturing something special. But I had to make a choice of what photo to enter...so I picked this one because it was so much fun for me. What are the odds of capturing a hummer with a spider's web around her beak. Imagine my delight! It was soo much fun.AnotherFineMess is therefore my entry. I can't wait to see the everyone's fine work...there are so many good photographers that participate here.

We have to BELIEVE in something no matter where we are at in life and what angle we look at it from there is something in the SKY and something DEEPINSIDE that drives us and keeps us going.Everyday MIRACLES surround us. If we but just believe...there is always hope.
