Hummingbirds


What are you passionate about?

Hummingbirds are everything to me. They are the reason my Glamping business is  successful. These beautiful spiritual creatures give an insight to another realm. Indigenous people have used the images of hummingbirds as spiritual creatures for centuries. They can fly in reverse, suspend in the air, fight each other like warriors, and live a life of solitude. They only interact at hummingbird feeders, or when they are sitting on the eggs fertilized by a brief encounter.

They shine brilliantly when the sunlight captures the colors of their feathers. They captivate anyone watching them flit about,  even those who don’t birdwatch. They are magical. They are fierce. They can make the most cynical person stop and reflect. They can heal a hardened heart by watching them interact. Fascinating in a way that cannot be explained.

They are famous without knowing they are. People from countries that don’t have hummingbirds are enamored. Everyone falls in love with the hummingbird.

I have fourteen registered species at my hotel.  I am now an eBird hotspot. All birds are interesting. The hummingbird is the one that will always win the Oscar for birds.

I am an American who moved to Colombia to find peace after the devastating loss of my daughter. I bought and renovated a Villa, am learning Spanish, and writing as catharsis. This blog will be like a book with chapters. Each blog will be about my life in Colombia and my adventures. I hope you will enjoy the many new discoveries I am making every day about myself and another culture.
