Sunday of week 29 started off dry until I set the camera up in the yard. Within 10 minutes it was spotting with rain and 15 minutes after that it was raining. It’s still raining as I write this post, I don’t think it’s stopped since it started.
We really needed the rain, it’s been so dry around here this summer the leaves are coming off the trees.
To the photo, it’s a young male Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) photographed on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario on a wet Sunday afternoon.

Nice photo. Yesterday, I dallied on my walk photographing a co-operative gray francolin (one that didn’t immediately run away) and as a result got caught in a heavy shower and drenched. One nice thing here though is that by the time I got back to my truck I was mostly dry again.
Thanks Graham. It was warm enough here that I sat in the rain with the camera and lens covered to kee the rain off.
