I very much enjoyed my bird walk around the cabin early yesterday morning. The clouds parted and let enough sunlight through that a festival of birds careened about the landscape. I have been working on my National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) novel, and was desperate for some fresh air. Procrastination played a key role in my nature excursion as well.

The first thing I saw when I came out onto the porch with my camera was this Western Bluebird drinking rainwater out of the bird bath in the garden.

 I was fortunate to get a series of shots that depict its posture and enjoyment of the experience. I loved watching it dip and swallow!
