All in their places...with bright shiny faces!

Who is this, splish-splashing about?

The Doodles noticed the amount of bathing birdies I had scattered through out the computery thing. I figure before it gets water logged, I better post a few of our fresh feathered friends!

Looky there, it's a Red-breasted Nuthatch!

This would be a harder one to figure out, butt I'm sure you'll peek at the next photo before I could tell you!
Cheaters never prosper...


A very hygienic Hermit Thrush!

Even birds that wade need to wash off the sand!

I wonder if it will still be a Sanderling without the sand...hmmm...

We found a flock of American Robins rockin in the puddles after an autumn rain.

When the Robins were all cleaned up, the Cedar Waxwings came in.

Yes, even Cedar Waxwings like to 'cannonball' into the water.

"Look out below!"

This splashing caught my eye this past Sunday at Sandy Ridge Reservation.

It was a warm, sunny day perfect for a little frolic in the fen!

When he finally came up for air, I discovered a Song Sparrow!

When we first 'spotted' this guy, all we saw was that bright yellow dot on his feathery fannie!

A fall feathered Yellow-rumped Warbler, cleaned up and ready for a trip!

*Yes, you are correct! This is a "Chipmunk Free" post...I'm feeling brave today...

Themeleth Thunday, thorta...

Northern Harrier's are easy to shoot from behind.

Actually, there is a theme to today's post as you shall soon see. You can blame this on Kenn Kaufman and his comments on my last post. Branching out...sheesh, silly man.

I decided to share with you the bounteous booties, the vast ventrals, the fantastic fannies, and my propensity to point at this proliferation of posteriors on the planet. So here ya go.

I do need to mention that there are boundaries to portraying posteriors.

Some places are better left unseen.

Though, not many boundaries.
This is the best photo of a White-tailed Deer I have, really.

Looking a little Squirrely there!

I think I disturbed his afternoon nap...

The name "Butterfly" just makes it so easy.

We were fortunate to visit Paris in 2002 on Laurie's whirlwind tour of ALL the sites and museums.

This is the view I had of her during most of the trip.

"Okay, hurry up, we have more to see!"

I was never so tired in my life...

It's not easy to sneak up on an Iguana!

...or a Darkling Beetle in the Anza-Borrego Desert!

How often do you get a shot of a Brown Bat from behind?

This shows my special talent of chasing anything and everything away from my camera.

This is a bee from Ecuador.

Edison, our guide, assured me they didn't sting.

His sense of humour was more evil than mine...

They can run, butt they can't hide!
