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.
