Weekly Photo Challenge: Ready? Splash!
This week the word for the photo challenge is, ready.
This little guy is deciding whether to jump into the water.
To splash or not to splash? That is the question!
He stood there a while just looking into space. Perhaps he was just dreaming, or maybe he didn’t like the water fountain. Or, maybe he was wondering if he needed a bath. Do birds decide when they’re ready for a bath? Maybe!

He seemed leery about the water fountain. He wouldn’t jump in until the fountain stopped…

Then the water suddenly stopped and he was ready….

And then, not two seconds later, big splash!

He is having a grand time, until another bird came and he flew away…. you can see the wake he left!

He was so smart! He waited for the fountain to stop so that he could bathe.
Hi CB… I think so too! He hung out on the edge for quite a while, just looking around. It wasn’t until the water stopped that he decided to jump in….. 🙂
The clarity is amazing. It almost looks fate. I know it isn’t. The splashing one is great. Truly great photos. I like a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Hi absolute truth…..thank you for your comments! I am having a wonderful time adding more clarity to my photos with Adobe LightRoom 4. It helps to make the water drops much more vivid…. it’s great fun to use!

Hi Jo, Thanks… it’s funny, I took these pics a while ago and never really thought too much about them until I had a chance to see them in the LightRoom software…. that’s when they came alive for me.
These photos are amazing. I think you would win the contest.
