Most of these photos were shot in Mongui, Colombia. All were taken during October, 2009 with a Nikon S600 Coolpix. I'm sorry I can't identify but a few of these plants, and none of the fruits nor the tiny hummingbird either. Maximize the size of this window in your Web browser for the full effect...
