Description from Anna C WonderChick: I like to have a theme or event when I design my jewelry pieces. Yesterday I held a little precious life in my hands. Out by my pond there is a clump of Siberian Iris. When my dog got a drink out of the pond she became fascinated by the iris. When checking what was making her so excited I heard the beating of little wings. Something was stuck in the iris clump. I thought it was a hummingbird or a hummingbird moth. When I tried to catch it, it started cheeping while frantically beating it' wings. It took a bit of doing, but I caught the little one in my hands and kept the dog at bay. It was a female hummer. I took her over near some bushes and let her rest for a bit. When I let her go she went off to the trees. I was so happy that her wings were not damaged, they seemed to beat so hard against my hands. Be safe my little friend.
