Taking a shower. First rain for 32 days!

First one wing held up to rince its "Wing pit" for about a minute.

Then the other one in the same way.
Rain falling can be seen in the -1 stop fill-in flash.
Poor light so please forgive quality, but couldn't resist the ablutions without DOVE soap (my mother's favourite to preserve her 90yr old skin)

Canon 600D, 40D, 350D + 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200is, 70-200 2.8DG and 70-300. Still have A1 and 300 EOS and must get out my Rollei TLR sometime

Very nice shots and it looks like the dove is really enjoying himself. :)

Thanks you for kind comments.
I know I can't compete with some of the postings here on excellence of their images, but I do enjoy observing the regular visitors and so far have pictures of the 18 species that are regulrs in my garden so far this year.
