As I sat in my rocking chair with my morning cup of tea
The sun poured through my window bright and what did I then see?
Underneath the pine tree tall was grass all green and lush
It had rained all through the night, a carpet soft and plush.
Puddles lay all through the grass, like a land of little lakes
The sun was shining on them all-not a peep did the water make.
Until I heard a gentle sound of wings all-a-flutter
Two robins hopped along the green, and playfully chased each other.
They flew together up and down, like the bow of a happy fiddle
Until at last they dove right in and jumped inside the middle!
They splished and splashed in the water bright, enjoying their morning bath
They brought a smile to my face, how they made me laugh!
And just as quickly as they came, the birds away they flew
And dried their wings in the morning sun by drops of sparkling dew.
So when you take your morning walk, and your boots are all a muddle
The simplest joy you may find there in a spring time watery puddle!

Cute birds baths are enjoying themselves and having fun. Your photos are beautiful. I aspire to taking just one bird photo as good. You have a beautiful blog with some gorgeous photos here. The little things are not as small as we think. The ordinary often becomes the extraordinary. I love your photos.. the other day I had a sprinkler on in the back yard and a Chickadee landed in a rhododendron bush to catch the drops of water that landed there. it looked like it was having a great time so I do think that they enjoy the baths. What a wonderful post! Love to watch nature having fun. Keep watching, they are giving you their own personal show.
