23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
A Midsummer Day's Dream
A little ferret is hiding behind the colorful bouquet, with bright red and yellow flowers symbolizing courage, passion, and new beginnings. Her paw rests on vintage books - she’s posing like a noble lady from an old portrait, relaxed and self-confident. A male ruby-throated hummingbird looks down at the scene, drawn by the vivid colors.
