Still Life with Hummingbird.

Esther saw something glinting green in the grass, and found this beautiful creature that just days ago buzzed and flitted and delighted.  It's fall. I'm sad.

 "Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." (Hamlet)

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night,
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.  (Romeo & Juliet)
