Tiny Hummingbirds
Personal memory by Zuleidy Ojeda
2002 • Puerto Rico
When I was little and I was living in Puerto Rico, I used to watch all the ''Colibri'' (hummingbirds) gathering together in my garden all the time but, unfortunately due to all the pollution outside they started to disappear slowly. Through the years I could barely see them anymore. It's a shame how chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light can affect such beautiful species, plants and natural habitat.
