Hosing with humming birds

Wouldn't you know it, no camera with me this morning while watering the garden. A humming bird came by and started feeding from some of the flowers. Then, to my huge amusement, she tried to perch on a large hosta leaf to drink the water droplets. Not easy and she kept slipping and rolling off to one side. It was so funny and a struggle not to be disrespectful enough to laugh. She gave up after a while after a few more sips of nectar flew through the spray from the hose to wet her wings and then sat on a branch cleaning up.
