The bath is one of the places I prefer, certainly not a place I leave readily, a place where one can close the door and remove oneself, put oneself in parentheses, as it were, from the rest of humanity. It is a place for reading and thinking, where one's mind wanders easily, where time seems temporarily suspended.
Whilst watching a family of Mute Swans bathing, I was thinking that the final image of this Cygnet would work well in black and white. Once processing I decided to go for a high key look.
Not seen the sea since.
Freshwater meeting the sea here and the gulls were bathing, flighting, relaxing and preening. I stood watching them for 20 minutes. A fabulous treat. There were many more than on this shot.

Every so often, bathtime for piggies is inevitable as they do intermittently suffer from mites and various skin conditions. Antipig looks quite worried in this shot but actually she is one of our best bathers and loves to sit in the warm water, a bit like those Japanese macaques in their hot springs.
With what little snow we have this Christmas season, we had to coax Rolo inside with a promise of sweet potato treats.
The brown pelican is a small pelican found in the Americas. It is one of the best known and most prominent birds found in the coastal areas of the southern and western United States.

This one is picking through it's feathers at Avila Beach, CA. Very fun to watch with more shots to come.

This photograph reminds me of a drawing technique used to express a stick figure’s shock where straight lines are drawn perturbing from it’s head. The lines of water droplets being thrown from the immature European Starling’s head mimic this effect.

Tuco loves having a bath in this old carry-out box. Green-cheeked Parakeets are common in aviculture and are popular companion parrots. They are playful, affectionate and intelligent, known as having a "big personality in a small body". They can learn to talk, albeit with a limited vocabulary and a gravelly voice. They like to be held (although some like it more than others) and can learn tricks such as lying on their backs, "kissing," shaking and even can be potty trained. Green-cheeked Parakeets are quiet, so even a unit dweller can enjoy their companionship.[7] They can be prone to biting, particularly when young, but an owner can cure this behaviour with patience and time.
