Oh how cute! I just love the birds. I don't have a window out to my gardens. So by the time I get out there they flap away! Love your birdbath!

What lovely birds Robins are. We only spot one or two a year that are migrating through in the spring in this neck of the woods.

Your robin bathing shots are so fun. It always makes me smile when they really get into their bath and the droplets are splashing all over. Do they use the perch in the middle of the bath much?
I get a lot of entertainment from watching the birds at my birdbaths.

Hi Katarina .. they were too cute to believe when I was watching them : )

Cindee .. my god ! now that is hot .. hard to believe anything can survive those temperatures .. and wouldn't you like to slug the person who says something stupid like "hot enough for you ?" hahaha

Hello Northern Shade .. birds are so entertaining to watch .. at feeders and baths .. we really enjoy them .. I have a lot of driftwood around for perches but sometimes they actually do use the birdbath perch too !

Hi Darlene .. I have a good zoom lense, so I didn't have to scare the heck out of them .. although they are very used to our back garden and not really frightened of us .. sort of a sanctuary but I have to keep an eye out for neighborhood cats .. DRATS !

Hi Laura .. I love all the water droplets too .. makes it seem like they are really having FUN ! LOL

Sheila .. I would share our robins with you if I could .. we have so many that they have a problem sharing our garden at times .. we have nests too, so they keep coming back to raise families : )

Brenda .. isn't that usually the way when we really want pictures ? LOL .. your garden is so beautiful I know you have a lot of native wildlife there most of the time .. some day you will just happen to be at the right place, at the right time, and have your camera with you too ! : )
