I love Hummingbirds and try at times to put them into my works. The challenge with these is the Fracking. I have made a fracking tool I think is safer than most I have seen but it is still a very dangerous thing to do.
Gotta love Hummingbirds. Yours make this piece. I've seen many very interesting patterns (Lichtenberg figure) with fracking, but none interesting enough for me to want to play with it. Some things, at least for me aren't worth the risk. I think part of the growth of Fracking wood is kind of like the draw of Fentanyl. That playing with death thing, not for me.
Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly both forward and backwards. They can also hover in mid-air, fly sideways and even upside-down. Wings: A hummingbird's wings beat about 70 times per second (200 times per second when diving!) Maybe Boeing should have named their Opsrey The Humming bird it might have been safer!
