  1. Oh my goodness, what a wet squirrel. Stoney might need a brush and blow dry after the rain stops. The Grackle seems to be handling the rain much better.

  2. The Grackles really needs a much prettier name to match that gorgeous plumage.
    And yes, both of them do look very, very wet.
    I hope it dries up for them (and you) soon.

  3. Oh dear, I do hope Braveheart has a warm bed to snuggle into, bedraggled is almost too nice for him today. Cheers, Jean.

  5. HI The Crackle has really beautiful colours in its plumage and with you heavy rain it looks like it is " Water off a 'Crackle's ' back"!!
    That Squirrel certainly looks bedraggled! Have a wonderful weekend.

  12. terrific pics... they don't seem to mind the weather at all. the rain seems to be less invasive on the grackle than the squirrel though... Stoney Braveheart seems to be drowned... hope all is well. have a great day~

  22. Great water droplet detail on the bird. And the squirrel pics are funny - looks like he's having a bad hair day! :)

    Thanks so much for the information you shared re. Pinterest. I'm going to give it a try. Appreciate the help!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh the poor thing looks sodden.

    We've had rain and wind most of the week, sure hope it improves soon.

  26. poor animal's it raining hard here too.

  27. Oh my goodness, that must have been a very heavy downpour. One thing I was very impressed was that you have caught those gorgeous shades in the grackle. Fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Those sure are some soggy critters. Poor Stoney, he's a mess!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Poor animals, it is hard to see when they have to fight with weather and hunger.

  30. He he, poor critters! Aww!! <3

  31. Oh poor Stoney B. He looks bedraggled. But still so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I LOVE Stoney!

    The grackle's colors are just gorgeous, Karen.

    ReplyDelete
  33. May I ask what camera are you using. All your images come out so detailed and such clarity. Love these and the rain drops too!

  34. Karen,
    This time of year, rain is better than snow! Earlier this week the weatherman announced Canada and Alaska had warmer temps than the South Dakota Black Hills. We are north of the Black Hills and 5-10* cooler, on average.

    Wonderful color capture on the grackle. Stoney Braveheart doesn't look too bothered by the rain.

  35. The grackle looks brilliant, but poor squirrel!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Soaked critters! That grackle is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow - fabulous shots!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I am amazed at the grackle colors you captured!! Incredible.

    Poor squirrel!

    ReplyDelete
  39. A very wet squirrel and lovely bird!! You don't usually see wet squirrels. Guess I'm not out when they are and they have to eat - rain, snow, sleet or hail!! Well - bet they're not out in hail!

  40. Not a good hair day for Stony!

  42. The squirrel needs blow dry :)
    Awesome shots, Karen.

  43. They look so fragile and pretty! #WeeklyTopShot

  44. Gorgeous plumage on the Grackle. Poor little Stony! He looks miserable.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The squirrel sure looks scruffy!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I find the image of the grackle with the raindrops glistening nothing short of exceptional, Karen, This is surely one of our most under-appreciated birds.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sorry about all the rain, but it made for an amazing shot of that grackle. Look how waterproofed he is! Gorgeous colors, too.

    ReplyDelete
  48. The grackle never looked so beautiful. And poor Stoney looks a bit bedraggled in the rain. Great photos!

    ReplyDelete
  49. It would seem that the grackle is having a better time of it than the squirrel! He looks a bit damp!

    Really like the sculptures in the other post - although I think postage and handling my prevent me from getting some!
