AN AWESOME MOMENT
By Céline Quintal
My story goes as such…
Ten years ago, all our family was in New-Brunswick on a camping trip. On one of
those ordinary camping days, my son and I needed to go to the restroom.
So we left together to get our ‘job’ done.
On this camping site, the
men and women’s rooms were separated by
a wooden footpath which was bordered by a hedge of pretty red flowers.
After finishing our task,
we were to meet halfway on the footpath.
I was the first one
there, so I could see him running towards me and asking me if we could go swimming
when all of a sudden, right in the middle of his sentence, we heard a small
roar, like that of a light engine noise… We both stopped moving and talking, and
looked at the noisy thing and we also stopped breathing ….
Between us there was a
pretty hummingbird foraging in the small red flowers of the hedge. We could see
it very well, it stayed around for one or two minutes.
It was such a privileged moment;
it was the first time we saw from so close that kind of bird. We came back to our
camp site with a great story and that … only from going to the bathroom!!!
THANKS Céline for a very special moment doing
as you mentioned an ordinary everyday 'thing'!!

attracting them to your gardens and backyards ...
