H for ABC Wednesday


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.

southbound gander wings goodbye

ABC Wednesday prompts with the letter G for this week. Thanks!




All that glitters is not gold. This glitter is pyrite, fool's gold, and I've sure found more than my share of it with not so much of the real thing.

Those which don't glitter are garnets which are found in local 'digs' and will occasionally come to light while gold panning. While these garnets are not gem quality, they can be polished to an acceptable level of utility.

Wishing each of you the perfect amount of glitter!
