Bath Time

 


When I was sitting in the contemplation garden that I spoke about yesterday, I saw this little house finch sitting in a nearby tree and eyeing the water below.

He finally decided it was safe and flew down so he could enjoy the water.

And then he just plunged himself into the water and splashed around vigorously.  

After a good scrubbing, his friend showed up.  He almost looks like he's asking "how do I look?"  I never get tired of watching the birds splash around in the water in this spot.  It brings me so much joy to watch their habits and antics.  

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  I'm enjoying the wonderful architecture of Frank Gehry.
