Hummer Shower

Two days ago I was spraying a container of peppers with water when a male hummingbird started hovering. Within a few seconds he had landed on the ground enjoying the spray from the hose. I almost drowned the pepper plants watching this special little guy! When he realized a human was holding the hose (I couldn't stand still especially when the gnats and mosquitos were biting) he quickly flew away.
