This young Robin was sitting in my birdbath, so I got out the Canon G9 real fast and went out to get a shot before it flew off. I was real quiet, and when it spotted me, it just stayed there. I got in it's face, practically, and got off quite a few shots. I thought it was hurt or something. I went back in, and then came out again, but it was gone. I guess it was just soaking it's feet for a bit.

See that the robin is amazed. Can understand its attitude. What would you say if you were captured while taking a bath?, lol.

A very good but cute post as well Jimbob. Well done, and in time!

Regards, Cornelius.

What a little sweetheart! You sure did get close. He's too innocent to know that he might have been in harm's way, but now he is a celebrity in your Caedes gallery. Nice job with the G9, Jimbob.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

It's hoping you had a worm or a bug about your person or it thought you were its Dad.

I think the cat had it in the birdbath for a little Robin soup, JimboB. It came back and enjoyed its dinner. Good thing you got this great shot of him so he will always be remembered. I like the thatch looking feathers. Clarity is superb.

Jimbob - Little animals are very trusting - even of crazy photographers! lol A terrific capture with excellent details. I like the sweeping curve of the bird bath framing the subject as it cools its heels. Thad

If a stranger walked in with a camera while you were in the tub you will be stunned too Jimbob! Nice and clear shot of the birdie.

Well, it's been pretty warm these past couple days (For Ohioans that is.) ;) I'm sure that little Robin was enjoying a nice soak.
