House Sparrow at South Lakes Safari Zoo, Dalton-in-Furness

I have decided to start a new set called 'things that children play with. Barbies seem to have become a social icon, one that has had mixed reviews from differing groups. As replicas of real women they are untenably uptight, rigid, with fixed smiles, narrow hips and waists and long legs. Always with long hair. Nothing real about them, or is there? Why is it then that little girls love playing with them so much? Ruby washes all hers and then they lie in a pile in the bath just like this. On the phone she said to me that she was having problems with her Barbies because their hair was so labour-intensive. "Why not cut it then" I asked. "Because then I don't like to play with them anymore", she replied.

Its always a delight watching the starlings taking a bath. Garden Dorset UK.

On the day I took this photo it had been over a week since our birdbath had water in it, due to the current drought here in Missouri and our personal failure to keep it filled manually.

 

On this day I was catching up on things around the house and finally got the birdfeeders filled and refilled the birdbath. Apparently the bluebirds were glad I did that: they took the opportunity right away to get cleaned up!

“I can no longer think of anything but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.”

While walking by the Tree of Life, we spotted this duck hanging out at the base of a waterfall, apparently enjoying the spray. He was standing pretty still so I took a few photos including this one with a slow enough shutter speed to get good water blurring.

While momma starling takes a bath, baby sits on the table-top water fountain in a corner of my deck. They were so entertaining to watch. This is a large crop with added effect from Topaz Adjust.

 

Quite nice if you click on the photo to see the larger view.

Everytime he gets a shower or a bath he goes in a huff.
