The Hummingbird's feathers have little true color,
instead they reflect the light and this makes them look so brilliant and colorful.
If we reflect light and joy in our life we too will turn the ordinary into the beautiful.
They represent joy, optimism and sweetness ; a messenger and stopper of time!
