Beauty Bathing
Anthony Munday (1553–1663)
BEAUTY sat bathing by a spring
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye 5
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said, fie!
So vain desire was chidden:—
Hey nonny nonny O!
Hey nonny nonny!

Are birds having a bath funny… I watched a group of Rainbow Lorikeets noisily bathe in a gutter full of water last weekend. Gorgeous!
Oh they must have been so very beautiful while enjoying the water. Of course I had to go and search them out on your blog http://sv-takeiteasy.com/2015/05/21/winter-migration/#more-4134 and what amazing birds they are.
So you’re in Australia? Funny how many places you mentioned I had never heard of. 🙂 BTW, LOVE your cat, and your other ‘cat.’
I was beaming from ear to ear ad I was taking shots of them! Splashing, soaking wet and very very noisy! If you like these I did a feature bird post on them http://sv-takeiteasy.com/2014/11/13/bird-photo-challenge-5-rainbow-lorikeet/
Oh Cool !! Heading over there right now. Their colors are amazing!
oh wow the lil birdy sure is enjoying it 😀
She truly was Andy. Once she checked me out, she kept bathing away.
prolly said “OY some privacy pls!” XD
Yep..you got it!
XD
Wonderful captures!!
Thank you so much Jim!
Ohh what a cutie pie!
She truly is so adorable, but alas I haven’t seen her since.
I love watching birds bathe. They don’t look so graceful when doing it!
Are you kidding? They look like they’re having a wild party. I wish I enjoyed bathing as much as they did.
so blessed!
You’re absolutely right Christy. I am truly blessed.
Great photos!!
