Cool Grapes

Description

Central TX is in the midst of a severe drought and high temps over 100 degrees every day. We have our garden, feeders and birdbaths for the critters that pass thru our yard but recently discovered the birds and squirrels enjoy some chilled fruit - strawberries are their favorite but a grape will do in a pinch!

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 250, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 195.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300

Sure didn't know they like grapes, but did know they loved my flowers! Oh, I just remembered they ate all my strawberries from my patch a few years back. But this is a very sharp and cool image! Great catch Valarie! #7682093
