"The Morning After" At our old house, my every-morning spring-summer-fall ritual included a visit to the pool and clearing out any debris that might be left floating on the surface of the aqua waters and most especially in the filters. At certain times of the season, the ritual included scooping out tiny little froggies ... we called them peepers. It's my belief that our pool was the sight of many uproarious midnight parties ... I know there was much music emanating from down there ... and judging from the bleary eyes of my darling peeper friends (and the occasional snake and ... other critters!) ... dancing and flirting and general hoopla was carried on with great intensity. On this particular morning, one of the maple trees nearby had made the decision to expel its whirligig-helicopter seeds. Thus, dear Froggie was covered in leaf and seeds bits when I rescued him from the filter. He did look pretty disgusted with life in general ... but after a good cleaning off and being sent on his way ... I'm sure he had a fine day out in the woods. And was probably among the number of his fellows who got scooped out of the pool the next morning, as well!! See him better at my website as cool wall art, coffee mugs, tote bags, (cool) t-shirts and more: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/the-morning-after-lois-bryan.html Also at #FineArtAmerica, here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-morning-after-lois-bryan.html #animals #frogs #toads #cute #summer #bedraggled #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #NotAi #LoisBryan

original image The photograph shows a small bird perched on a thin, dark brown branch. The background is blurred, suggesting a shallow depth of field, with muted greens and possibly some out-of-focus foliage. The foreground is dominated by the bird and the branch, with raindrops visible in the air around it. The bird is actively shaking itself, as if preening or drying off after being in the rain.

This shot is from a few years ago but it's pretty much what things are like out there right now...except it's raining so hard there are NO birds!

Fair to say that Storm Bert hasn't been kind to the Creake Christmas market this morning. #bedraggled
