Needed a different color; needed to stand out

My last picture--can you tell that thing in the center is a bird? It looks more like a toaster with legs, since I tried to draw the duck from the back, and it had its head bent down; I'm not good at drawing the mottled duck yet anyway, even straight from the side with its head up! 

Or would people who saw the picture remember the fact I didn't think to make the leaves and the butterfly different colors so you could tell them apart?

Actually, I had tried drawing the grass & leaves with my watercolor brush markers, fude brush pen, and color pencils on another page. I saw the scribbles and  liked what I had drawn, decided to work on it a little more then keep it. But I should've thought to do the butterfly in a different color!

NOTHING BUT LEAVES


I'd never seen that hummingbird at the park before. I quickly took a picture of it from where I was behind the bush. But when I got up closer, I saw it was just emerald and rose leaves sitting on a boulder at Bottleneck. Leaves can be very pretty, but even they can be pretty disappointing.

Wasn't there a time Jesus was disappointed with only leaves instead of figs?
