As I quietly watched it rain from inside, a few Western Bluebirds landed in a tree near the window. I slipped outside into the drizzle and photographed this male. At one point, as water drops multiplied on his back, he shook himself off like a wet dog.
Please a comment below so I know you were here.






Oh Carla! I love this moment you’re sharing with us! It looks like the little guy knows you are watching, and shares his small effort of refreshment! All those tiny drops of water flying in all directions!
Yes, my favorite part is the drops!
Sweet💜🙏🏼
Stunning…and intimate. Thanks for sharing the moment!
Wow, amazing series! Nicely bookended. “I’m done, I’m cool, whatchu lookin at?”
