When I was a wee tot, I remember visiting my grandmother a few times every summer. She lived in East Texas, only a few hours away, but my parents rarely made the drive to see her at any other time during the year. We'd sit on her long painted porch, a minty green, with old white wooden rocking chairs and two mint green wicker settees with pink and white stripe cushions and watch hummingbirds fly up to the four hummingbird feeders she had hanging from the trees that swallowed her postage stamp sized front yard.
My grandmother loved hummingbirds. She made it a part of her daily routine to change the sugar water she filled her feeders with every morning before breakfast. Then she'd sit all day long on her porch, iced tea in hand, reading and gleefully keeping watch on the tiny little birds she had made sure were well fed.
If she were alive today, she would love this book. A sublime collection of 418 suberbly detailed hand-colored lithographs created by John Gould from the mid-1800s. They are lovely, take a look:
Beautiful, right? Flipping page after page of this beautiful book, my eyes swelled with tears thinking about those hot summer mornings in East Texas, on the porch with my grandmother, watching the hummingbirds.
If you're a fan of natural history art, hummingbirds, or birds in general - this unrivaled master collection of antique prints is definitely a piece you'd want to add to your collection. Take a closer look, and buy your copy via the Amazon link below:

ReplyDeleteI TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
ReplyDeleteAt first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his email } dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com
