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.
Young Blackbird enjoying an early morning bath.
This is one of two juvenile birds which have recently fledged.

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.
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.

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. It is one of only three pelican species found in the Western Hemisphere. The brown pelican is one of the only two pelican species which feeds by diving into the water.

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

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.
Well David Bowie could get away with being weird so why can’t I? I’m not really sure what provoked me to attempt this photo. It was probably only the thought that no one else has ever tried it, so I would see what I could achieve. I’m not wholly impressed with the result, but it was somewhat rushed as I was actually trying to get ready for work, rather than having a bath for the pleasure of it (although I do enjoy a good steam). I thought I would try a shot holding a bottle of shampoo in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other as if trying to work out which might be better rubbed into my scalp. But the dynamics of holding an object in each hand, and keeping them in focus whilst gripping my heavy camera with mounted flashgun under my chin whilst still stretching enough to have my toes up by the taps at the end of the bath proved too much. And all the while I was being put off by my wife and daughter banging on the bathroom door demanding why there were bright flashes coming through the pane of glass above the bathroom door.
Oh well. Is this the first picture of toes and beer in the bath on flickr? If so I would call that an achievement: something David Bowie never managed despite his artistry and inventiveness.
But I did take insoiration from Flickr contact Matthew Fox...see here www.flickr.com/photos/matthew-fox-photography
One of the rescued bears at Wildwood Trust rewilding centre was playing in the water pool whilst we were there. It had some enrichments to play with too, but it also just seemed to enjoy the water on this warm day.
I like the shape of this photo, less so the colours, but it didn't really work in black and white. There's quite a few photos I took where I liked the shapes more than the final photo.
taking baths used to be my favorite part of the day...mainly i think because of the awesome bath toys i had. it was kind of fun looking through them again. and sad. mainly fun.
aah all my friends are leaving ajfkdla;. after i go it'll definitely be easier, but it's hard watching them go. or waiting for them to go...that sounds bad--i mean, anticipating their leaving?
in other news, i can't stop listening to the new kanye/jay-z album, especially 'lift off' and 'why i love you'...and 'gotta have it'. i've already overplayed 'no church in the wild'. thank you, carina :)
