Autumn Bathing Beauty
I`ve had this heated bird bath since late last winter, but it isn`t exactly easy to photograph it being used. Sometimes, when the birds decide to bathe, the camera isn`t nearby. Other times it`s nearby but set to a low ASA and and that isn`t noticed until it`s too late. :-) Much easier to catch them drinking than bathing ... although I do have quite a few shots of a variety of birds doing both.
I sort of like this one because of the autumn colors reflected in the water. Some of the color comes from leaves which have fallen off the maple and birch trees and settled on the bottom of the bird bath.
Enjoy!
