We’ve had long hours of heavy rain for almost a week and that makes daily things difficult to do when you walk out of your home such us dealing with mud, puddles, wet clothes etc.

I’m sure that for birds must be extremely hard to stay dry and look for food, I feel sorry for them. Despite the rain I I always keep their feeders replenished with seeds.

Then occurred to me why not shoot pictures of the birds while it rains! I set up my camera gear and waited to see what birds do not mind the rain and get their meal. Do you know what? I was very surprised and happy to see the results I got.

I’ll be sharing some of them on today’s post I hope that you like them.
