[Woodcarver] MIKE: LEGEND OF THE HUMMINGBIRD

[m.bloomquist]

Kathleen,

 

As much as I enjoyed talking with Benoi, Nicole’s work was my favorite of
all I saw.

 

Thanks for chasing down the The Legend of the Hummingbird.  Of the two, the
version with the forest fire is my preferred one.  I believe it was a First
People’s (Native American) legend.  Being that the artist is French though


 

Keep on Carvin'

Hello, Mike et al.,

 

I almost forgot that I translated the Legend of the Hummingbird for

you from the sign that appears in  your picture.  It's kind of an odd

legend, I think you'll find.  I think I like your version better.

 

It's kind of a small sign but I magnified the page a bit so I could read it:

 

----------------------------------

 

La Légende du Colibri = The Legend of the Hummingbird

 

In the middle of a hot and humid summer, a frantic hummingbird flies

trying to escape a lightning attack of 20,000 thirsty mosquitoes. He

takes refuge in a mosquito-controlled camp of nudist fairies where 

one tender friend, not divested of charm, takes him under her 

protective wing...

 

---------------------------------

 

Mike, your trip to Québec looked delightful.

I loved the works by Nicole.
