This photo was taken on January 8, 2025, at La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park in Costa Rica. Sweet water feeders hanging in the park attracted hummingbirds to feed, and I managed to capture this moment while quietly observing from a distance. It was the first time I had ever seen a hummingbird in real life. Its delicate and lightning-fast presence left me deeply moved, filling me with a renewed sense of awe and reverence for the wonders of nature.
