This little sparrow was so intent on its bath, it didn't care much about Theda and I walking by:
A rose from the neighborhood:
My sister's Clematis:
It's been a while since Theda made an appearance. Here she is!
That was a rare day of sunshine in D.C. The rain played havoc with the flower-laden azaleas, and even got the rhododendrons down. But one big old shrub is happy as a duck: The magical mystery birdie bush, aka the Streambank Mock Orange (Philadelphus hirsutus):
P.S. Anni at I'd Rather B' Birdin' mentioned that the Sweet Mock Orange (Philadelphus-coronarius) has flowers with a very intense smell. This isn't the case with the Streambank. Here's an apple core that a chipmunk started running off with. Chippie heard me open the window to take a picture and scampered off, leaving a Catbird to swoop in for some lunch.
Mouse over pics for captions, and click them for larger versions.

Looks like a perfect day for every one to be out and about! Love the horse on the trail! Hugs!
Nice looking critters! And the flowers are delightful!
A most charming horse trail it is too! Theda, so happy to see you out and about again, and what a fun and interesting hike you're both on today. Cute little birdie too! That one single rose is really special too.
Wonderful photos of your environment! I have a magical mystery birdie bush too...I am assuming yours is cover for dozens of birds. Mine is a Texas sage. Enjoyed this post very much! Have a great Sunday!
Beautiful horse! Blooms! And birds! And of course, dog! Have a beautiful week!
