ABC Wednesday offers H as the prompt. Thank you!
He sat quietly for several hours while hoping for a hummingbird landing. At times, more than three dozen of these fast-paced birds with exuberant chirps swooshed in and out of geraniums and glanced off any touch of red.
The reward came when two hummingbirds perched on the finger of this six-year-old to drink nectar from the fake flower.
When asked what it was like, he said the tiny bird feet felt like angel's wings and grinned with pleasure.
Magical memories.

Oh that is magic. Terrific post for the letter H.
He is a budding poet. I would have been beside myself if I had seen that. I am enchanted!
That is one marvellous experience.
Oh how sweet. I'm sure he will never, ever forget that.
hummingbirds are fascinating creatures that can fly backwards, I believe. nice story.
It could also have been P for patience.
Hummingbirds are certainly magical We don't get them in our garden. The speed of the wings is miraculous.
A "once in a lifetime photo". Beautiful. Mary from Meander With Me.
It's great that you could save this magical moment for posterity! It's such a precious shot!
A wonderful H!
Hummingbirds keep Humans humble...
He is a special young man.

this is the most precious story i've read this morning. i am pleased he was rewarded with such a delicate touch. have a great day.
Patience can be it's own reward - great lesson for a young person! Thanks for your positive comment on my H - I like your haiku offerings as well.
Wow, that's an amazing story and a great photo capture. That is a great memory, to feel a hummingbird's tiny feet on one's finger.
The 6 year old certainly has amazing patience.
Ah, what a lovely remark! Angel's wings, I will remember that now.
Wow! I'd be thrilled too to have a hummingbird land on my finger!
What a patient little lad! He earned his angel's feet, bless him! Sweet picture!
Magical memories indeed! And what a lucky boy to have them land on his fingers. I'm still trying to capture one on film:)
How lovely! Brings to mind the time a new monarch landed on my 3 year old. I should follow suit and put a feeder like that out back. We see the hummingbirds zip about. Maybe they would still for us.
How nice to have humming birds land on your fingers. Lucky boy.
Thanks for sharing this moment and for comment on my blog.
It's just to take a plane to stockholm and you can go there ;-)
I am envied of this little boy, what an experience of life time. This summer was the first time I saw a hummingbird in our garden, just a glance.
What a wonderful, magical event that was! Something a child will never forget. Thanks so much for sharing it with us, and thanks for visiting mine.
A delightful post! I love humming birds. I didn't know they are so tame and come so close. Awesome!
What a magical moment for a special young lad....thanks for sharing and for your visit.
***deep, heartfelt happy sigh*** I love the dear hummingbirds. Little earth angels, as my daughter and Puppet like to think.
P.S. Don't forget to make a wish each time you see one!
What a thrill for him! My granddaughter would love to have that happen to her!
