The Sparkling Violetear is one of the most widely distributed species of hummingbird in the Andes, as it occurs from northern Venezuela south to northwestern Argentina; it also has an outpost on the tepuis of southern Venezuela and adjacent northern Brazil. In common with other species of violetear, it is not a bird of deep forest. Instead it is found at forest edge and open areas with scattered shrubs; it also adapts to nonnative flowering trees such as Eucalyptus. Sparkling Violetears are energetic songsters, and repeat their simple song for long periods of time. Sparkling Violetears are similar to the Green Violetear (Colibri thalassinus), but are larger, and have an extensive blue patch on the belly. Sparkling Violetears also tend to occur at higher elevations than does the Green Violetear; in at least some parts of its range, however, the Sparkling is an elevational migrant, and so is found over a very broad elevational zone. doi.org/10.2173/bow.spvear1.01

I don't know what these flowers are, but they were very pretty this morning just after the sprinklers turned off and as the sun was just beginning to come over the mountain adding sparkle to the water droplets. View large for best detail.

Tnx, Sorchy for help with photo! Check Sorcha's version here
I went to the park early before work yesterday and the plants were being watered so I was lucky to get this sparkly shot.

There were quite a few of these lovely light purple flowers dotting the meadows and lining the edges of Crystal Lake on Saturday. There was one right next to the rock I was sitting on at the lake so I thought I would be lazy and try take a photo of it without getting up from relaxing with my feet in the water! I was taking the shots from above and after the first couple of photos, noticed that having the rippling water in the background rather than the grass made for a rather pretty sparkle effect behind the flower.
