Hummers

When we started looking for items to decorate our new home, we thought of the pewter sculptures we had seen in Estes Park, Colorado years ago.  We really liked them, but couldn't afford them back then.  
I went on line and found a picture of a hummingbird on a columbine flower that we would have ordered if it was still available.  The problem was that it was from 2008.  The website was no longer active, but the phone number was - we were able to contact the sculptor, Don Norris, at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. Although he no longer made that piece (he said it was top heavy and tended to fall over) he modified the base and made one just for us.
The two smaller sculptures are ones that he has continued to make.  Now that he has modified the larger one, he says he may add it to his catalog.
