A wonderful capture of this soggy pair of birds, Chris!
I am so sorry to hear about Tony, but I guess he is in the best place at the moment. #9456810

Lol, Chris - these two DO look rather miserable...AND "soggy", as John said!! ;o/ Sadly, it seems that we're also in for quite a drenching...AND a lot of wind, too...for at least the next two or three days!! :o( Great capture and presentation here with that appropriately 'rain-like' border!! :o)

Phil and I are both VERY sorry to hear about Tony, my friend... Hopefully, he is resting comfortably in hospital and getting the best possible care and assessment... Which hospital is he in? #9458282

PS, Chris - PLEASE tell Tony that our thoughts and prayers are with him...and give him our VERY best wishes for a speedy recovery, too!! We're thinking of you as well, my friend!! :o) #9458291

Thank you all for your kind well wishes. He's had a bad day Sunday, so had to increase his medication & keep on his injections. Then we received a 2nd letter from the hospital with conflicting doses!! I'm waiting for the hospital to phone me when they work it out. Thanks again. #9471471

Fantastic capture of these brooding birds, Chris. The rain adds to the overall mood... #9546948

I wish we had rain now. 100 degrees is not very pleasant. The man up above is watching your family. God bless you. #9547544

Chris Ebben July 22, 2011

Thanks a lot. At present, I think most of us over here, especially our animals & birds, would gladly share our rain with you. Everything is waterlogged & there's a lot of damage around. #9548007
