Bath interrupted

There were all kinds of plants in the way, but I still thought it was a cute capture of this robin taking a bath in the dog bowl next door.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

This time it’s really the last magnolia! posted earlier:

The robin seems to be saying, "Surely one can have a some privacy when bathing." V

Very cute indeed! V

I agree this is such a cute capture. Not sure that Fido would agree however since it was his bowl that was used as the prop.

beautiful shot Helen

How did Sahraa like having her dish turned into a bath? You were quick with your camera to get this shot.

Kevin Warren		24-Mar-2020 18:55
This is just great, Helen - what a sweet shot of this bathing beauty who finds nothing at all unusual in the available facilities!

alert to opportunity, and to the photographer...amusing capture..

It's a wonderful 'smile' moment to see the robin making use of the water bowl.

One of my favorite birds and a sure sign of spring. Delightful capture of this pretty bird taking a bath and love the water droplets on his feathers.

John Reynolds LRPS		24-Mar-2020 15:15
Yes, a great opportunity well taken. V.

Claude Gagnon		24-Mar-2020 14:35

This is lovely. You were able to capture this brief moment and get a wonderful shot. V

This scene of a bird bathing is a good choice. I like the droplets of water on its feathers and its, involuntarily but effective, expression as if it were really annoyed to be disturbed in such a private activity...
