One of the most amazing natural details I have ever seen is this leaf. It is called Christ’s Tears or Las lágrimas de Cristo in Spanish.
This leaf is a plant called Christ’s Tears
A phenomenon of natural beauty and elegance that surprises with the intricate detail that is on the leaf.

Animals can show us so much detail with their simplicity and kindness. The eyes have it all.
Raindrops on a rose. Detail that is lovely and calming at the same time.

With all that happens in our lives, we need to take a moment to look at the essence of the familiar that surrounds us. We need to embrace the beauty of normalcy. We need to let ourselves find joy wherever we can.
When I hike I see so much I can never capture in a photograph. I try. But the reality is you need to get outside and just look around. Let the moment you see something incredible stop you in your tracks. Take that moment and live it. Stamp it in your memory. Then you will understand the details of life.

I'm an American woman who took a leap of faith and moved to Colombia 15 years ago after the devastating loss of my daughter. What began as a journey to find peace and heal a broken heart became an entirely new chapter of my life.
Fifteen years later, Colombia isn't just where I live. It's my home, and a place that has taught me more about life, love, and myself than I ever could have imagined.
I bought a villa in the mountains, renovated it, and created my own little piece of paradise, Villa Migelita Ecolodge. Along the way, I've embraced a new culture, learned Spanish (still a work in progress!), made wonderful friendships, and discovered that life has a funny way of surprising us when we least expect it.
My life here is filled with hummingbirds, breathtaking mountain views, unexpected adventures, occasional chaos, and plenty of stories that sometimes seem too unbelievable to be true!
Hummings from Paradise is my way of sharing it all. The beautiful moments, the challenges, the laughter, the tears, and the lessons I've learned along the way.
I believe life is a book filled with chapters, and I'm still writing mine. Some chapters are heartbreaking, others are hilarious, but every one has helped shape the woman I am today.
I hope you'll follow along as I continue discovering not only this beautiful country I've come to call home, but also a little more about myself.
And believe me, there's never a dull moment in paradise!

That is the way I look at the many fields that I bush hog, on my farm. Just trying to take care of God’s beautiful land. All thought it does get hard keeping the bush hog running.
There is a song by Switchfoot called ” Life is short and I’m going to live it well” (worth hearing it) and I woke up humming it this morning… We only have 1 yes folks just 1 life to live…This is NOT a rehearsal..so lets enjoy and pause..and yes nature reveals the Creator..and how magnificent His designs are…Michele love all the pictures
