Ok … so I bet you are wondering what the H-E double hockey sticks is going on here.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

You’re probably saying,<\/p>\n

“Nice, but, I ain’t no fool, you can put away the stuffed hummingbird now.”<\/p>\n

“… or the plastic mannequin hand with a 10-foot extension.”<\/p>\n

“Ok, well, really then, Photoshop is soooo overused these days.”<\/p>\n

Really? None of those?<\/p>\n

Hummingbird whispering.<\/p>\n

\"\"A picture says a thousand words, but what this one doesn’t give up is how farmhands, Louise and Samantha,\u00a0were able to stick their hands, ever so gently, underneath the bellies of the most flitty, fast, and untamable creatures known to humankind\u2014hummingbirds\u2014AND take pictures.<\/p>\n

I kid you not. None of these images have been doctored aside from post edits such as cropping and color tweaks. And the hands in them are real.<\/p>\n
