After days (at least 7, lost count) of blazing sun, we received some much needed rain. These little birds took advantage of water that collected on the lid of a barrel down by our garden. I took this from a long distance with max zoom and still cropped it, so the picture quality is not that great, but I liked their antics, especially the one admiring him/her self after the bath.
Love these, Marilyn! The contrast of the green foliage against the soft grey is lovely. In the last photo, “Tweety” seems to be admiring his/her own reflection!
Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula has been home for more than 40 years. My husband, David, and I live on 10 acres of forest near the town of Soldotna. We are more or less retired, meaning we are retired from gainful employment but not from life!
Our son lives in Australia and our daughter in Colorado.
Photography, fiber arts, reading, and hiking/walking are some of my interests, and David shares my love of gardening, camping, cooking, and traveling, plus he is our tech expert.
Awww… ¿Donde?

Amazing what a bath will do for you!
Great findings!
Thanks, Sartenada. I’ve been waiting for more mushrooms, but with our lack of rain their appearance seems to be delayed.
