    I think that is the wettest (is that a word??) bird I've ever seen! And I love that it's a robin. Great shots - you capture all the colors and activity so clearly, and also seem to capture their personalities!!

    Great shots! It reminds me of our cats bathing. They put so much effort into it.

    Those photos are wonderful. I wish that I could get photos of birds like that on my lil old camera.
    I really enjoy watching them.
    Wish I had a pool today.

    omg these are awesome pictures. The detail is just beautiful. I always love your thoughts too. My husband is looking to taking a photography class. Did you take one? Also, what kind of camera do you have?
    I keep telling you this; you need to publish a book.
    Blessings!

    What a fun series. He really got into the feather cleaning. I like how fluffy and fuzzed up the feathers look.
