Bath Time
aperture f/9.0, shutter 1/320, lens Canon 400 mm 1:5:6 using a tripod. Last summer this mother cardinal reared three babies in the vine climbing my deck. Soon after the babies left the nest I caught her enjoying the sprinkler and bird bath. This summer was extremely dry so this bath was extra special to her I'm sure.
