Bathing bird

I went out looking for pictures around the neighborhood because I basically don’t have much new to post and had about given up when I saw some sparrows taking a bath in a fountain on East Capitol. They were quite accommodating until one of the tenants came home and scared them away.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Late afternoon Sahraa, posted earlier:

Little birds are very cute splashing in the water even as shallow as that gather in depressions in decorative rocks ~V~
