A welcome summer rain

It was a peaceful weekend here in Maryland. We had a good rain come through on Saturday night which was badly needed. And on Sunday morning, as I sat outside in my pajamas with my first cup of coffee, I could almost hear the earth sigh with relief. Soft gusts of wind rustled the leaves from time to time, sending little rain showers falling from great heights.

The birds were happy, too.

After filling my little pool (yes, I broke down and bought a small pool), and doing my chores, I set about to take some bird photos and sit in the sunshine.

 

I caught this little nuthatch.

 

And I’m very proud of this male red-bellied woodpecker that I captured. In fact, I’m going to order a standout print and add him to my collection.

 

I liked the colors on this one. I’m also playing around with a different watermark.

 

George treed a squirrel.

 

What? Where?

 

Up here. Waaaay at the top of the tree, the squirrel waits for the dog to leave.

 

This is a weird photo. He looks like he’s all-business here, doesn’t he? It’s that serious jaw line, that’s what it is.

Question for you photographers out there: Has anyone ever used Zenfolio to sell your prints? If so, what plan do you have? Do you like it or can you recommend something else? Just wondering ~

Thanks to everyone for stopping by today.
