The resident neighborhood osprey sitting on my neighbor's dock in the pouring rain.
He usually sits on the sailboat mast but I guess he got tired of it rocking in the rain.
Now it's just a sprinkle and the sun was starting to come out. I got to thinking. If the sun's out on this side of the house and it's still raining on the other side, I should check to see if there's a rainbow somewhere.
I opened my front door and saw this. I grabbed my camera and took this and the one below in my driveway.

oh, the pouring rain shots looked like heaven!!! i'd be a drowned rat standing out it in here if it would only come! :)
ReplyDeleteThe poor osprey looks like he's having a bad hair day, but at least he's standing on something sturdy.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow shots are gorgeous! In your driveway, how wonderful.

Nice rainbow! That osprey is so pathetic looking. I wonder why it choose to sit in the rain, rather than seeking cover.
ReplyDeleteThe osprey looks like a commanding presence, rain notwithstanding. Between that and the rainbow, it certainly looked like a day of wonderful surprises:)
ReplyDeleteWow a double rainbow, these is awesome. Happy weekend!

I feel sorry for that poor Osprey perched there in the rain. But, they are still great photos and I love the rainbows. Happy skywatching!
ReplyDeleteThere just aren't too many things prettier than a rainbow--nice capture. Mickie :)
