A quintessential, but young wet robin perches on a popular perch in rain and sprinkles. Not sure why the perch seems popular with small and large birds, raptors included.

Crazy Tuesday, theme of April 12, 2022: made of wood

 

Sorry, not really crazy ... but in times of spring fatigue, the bedroom seems to exert a great pull on me ; ))

 

No, seriously - I really liked the spring light on that day and was in the mood for a rather simple subject

 

😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄

 

[Edit: I will catch up with you later this week]

Verrückter Dienstag, Thema am 12. April 2022: aus Holz gefertigt

 

Sorry, nicht wirklich verrückt ... aber in Zeiten der Frühjahrsmüdigkeit scheint das Schlafzimmer eine große Anziehungskraft auf mich auszuüben : ))

 

Nein, im Ernst - mir gefiel das Licht an dem Tag sehr und mir war nach einem eher einfachen Motiv

 

Happy Crazy Tuesday !

Looks like "Fluffy" still has his winter fur-coat on? A very cool, windy wintry feel to-day ... A wee bit of a stare-down look as he notices me taking his picture from my dinning-room window.

Always drops bye to enjoy a quick treat before returning to play in the park with his friends.

Common dandelion ... Still beautiful but not for much longer.

Dandelion leaves act as a diuretic, increasing the amount of urine your body makes. The leaves are used to stimulate the appetite and help digestion. Dandelion flower has antioxidant properties. Dandelion may also help improve the immune system.
