Rainy Tuesday

For the second straight morning I didn't have a single bird visit my feeder, and then a few hours later it started to rain. So today's post features just a few photos, all taken out behind my office building during my lunch hour as I tried to keep my camera from getting too wet.

The cool thing, though, is that when you look closely you can also see those two raindrops in the background of my photo clearly reflected, albeit upside down, in the raindrop I was focusing on:
