‘Do you mind??’

Caught this starling having a bath in a fountain on East Capitol Street NE.

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

Bon voyage to Geneva, posted earlier:

The feathers are superbly captured to show the detail. Nicely timed too to show him enjoying the water. V
