Splashing is so much fun


Oh no, a visitor


Drying off

I enjoy seeing the birds taking their baths too. Great time of the year isn't it! You managed to get some good shots!

The robin's feathers look a bit bedraggled after the bath, but he seems to have enjoyed the splashing around!

I hope you're having a good week, Barb.

We had real cool weather hit again...don't think the birds will be wanting a bath here for a couple of days...tomorrow's high is supposed to be 55-58ºdepending on who you listen to.
