Today while I was hanging out the washing, my husband spied this magpie having a dust bath and warming himself in the sun.
I quickly got my camera.
He moved soon after I took this shot.
Great capture, Lois. I love that your husband, like mine, is always aware of potential subjects for your photos. 365 has become a family project around here. =)
It's the same when we are going for a stroll my husband points out thing to me to [photograph...but i'm getting better at spotting some es well. this picture of the magpie is great ..fantastic capture..glad he waited for you to get your camera.
I've seen birds take dust baths, but I don't know that I've ever read why they do that. You got a terrific picture! So nice of your husband to point that out!
Kudos to your husband for spotting this, and good work getting your camera in time! Isn't it great having a built-in photo assistant? My husband is also always looking out for good photo ops, and he's the first person I turn to when I'm lacking in the inspiration department.
