Pleione Tolima (P. formosana x P. pleionoides hybrid) flower was well formed this year, whiles last year the flower was deformed. Pleione orchids are miniature orchids with large flowers that in the wild grow on foothills and in mountain areas of East and South East countries. Native names include Glory of the East, Himalayan crocus, Indian crocus. 23 wild Pleione species are known (though some argue there are 21 true species) but 362 man-made hybrids are officially registered by the RHS. Hybrids could be conveniently grown on a windowsill due to their miniature size but large showy flowers hens their common names Peacock orchids and Windowsill orchids.
This lovely hummingbird is endemic to Columbia, South America. Tolima Blossomcrowns are found on the eastern slopes of the central Andean mountain range between 4000 and 7,500 feet.
The Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii) is beautifully captured in this photograph taken in the cloud forests of Cañon del Combeima, Tolima, Colombia. This male sylph, with its radiant emerald green feathers and elongated tail, presents a striking image against the soft, verdant background. The setting's natural light enhances the bird's vivid colors, creating a mesmerizing effect. This photo was taken at an altitude of 2,627 meters, adding a unique element to the composition.
From a photographer's perspective, capturing the Long-tailed Sylph in such detail required patience and precision. The blurred background was achieved using a wide aperture, which effectively isolates the subject and emphasizes its vibrant plumage. The natural lighting conditions posed a challenge, but also allowed for a more authentic representation of the bird's habitat. This image aims to inspire fellow photographers to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of avian subjects in their natural environments.

This photo captures the enchanting female Mountain Velvetbreast (Lafresnaya lafresnayi), perched delicately on a dew-covered fern in the Cañon del Combeima, Tolima, Colombia. The Mountain Velvetbreast, known for its unique long decurved bill and distinctive white tail spots, thrives in high elevation cloud forests. I aimed to emphasize the iridescent green plumage against the lush, verdant background, utilizing the soft morning light to enhance the bird's natural beauty.
From a technical perspective, achieving the perfect focus on this tiny, active subject was a challenge, especially with the fine mist adding to the ethereal atmosphere. Using a fast shutter speed and a wide aperture helped capture the intricate details of the bird and the texture of the fern. This image is a testament to the patience and dedication required in wildlife photography, offering a glimpse into the delicate balance of nature in one of Colombia's most biodiverse regions.

This photograph captures the Chestnut-bellied Chat-Tyrant (Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris) in its natural habitat, taken in the lush environs of Cañon del Combeima, Tolima, Colombia. The bird's vibrant chestnut belly contrasts beautifully with its slate-gray upperparts, creating a striking image against the dense green foliage. The detailed plumage is brought to life through careful lighting and composition, highlighting the unique characteristics of this stunning bird. The setting, with its soft, natural light, enhances the depth and texture of the bird’s feathers, making it a visually engaging shot.
From a photography perspective, capturing this image required patience and keen observation. The Chestnut-bellied Chat-Tyrant is known for its elusive nature, often found near rushing streams within Andean cloud forests. The challenge lay in waiting for the perfect moment when the bird was still and well-lit. The use of a long lens allowed for a close-up shot without disturbing the bird, preserving the authenticity of the moment. This photograph not only showcases the bird’s beauty but also serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that needs our protection.
