Foodless Friday: Things aren't always what they seem

I have not kept it a secret that I love birdwatching. We have a hummingbird feeder at my parent's house and we've had a few different species of hummingbirds. One looks fairly plain with a black head, but if caught in the right light, it actually has a purple neck patch. I love being able to see it!
This photo above shows it, but below I posted a close up so you'll be able to see it better. (Plus I'm really proud of this photo of a hummingbird, I think it is great!)
I love how if you just casually look at this bird you miss the most beautiful feature. How many times we do that with so many aspects of our lives!
