There seems to be something magical about rain. I love to step outside while it's still dripping, while everything feels and smells so fresh. The world comes alive with activity.
This was one of those moments. There were so many birds
singing, flying from perch to perch, chirping that I felt like I had stepped into a wonderland. When I heard this female
Downy's chirps, I thought she might be headed for the
suet feeder, and she was.
But not before pausing to take it all in and give me these lovely poses.
My, I think she's hungry! Or maybe this is her dessert attitude.
For the Love of It...

Love the fixed stare and the crumbs all over her beak!

ReplyDeleteI'm one of those nuts who workd in the garden while it is raining, it is so refreshing to both garden and mind.

ReplyDeleteThe perfect perch for a favorite bird. Excellent series!
ReplyDeleteShe is totally precious. I stood out in the rain weeding for ours the other day. I got totally soaked, but loved every blissful moment of it.
