It was 110 here in the Sacramento Valley on Monday. Fellow gardener, Maria braved the heat the next day to do an evening check and give a little first-aid to anything that had not weathered the weather! She’s also turning into quite the camera bug. She captured this funny-faced Robin who found his own way to keep cool!

Great pictures, Maria. Sweet bird just trying to stay cool. The picture taking thing must be contagious out there. Way to go girl!!
Hang around with us long enough – and you’ll catch it too, Pat!
Thanks Pat. Glad I had the camera on hand.
Stay coowooowooool!

I love the last shot! He looks like the robin version of grumpy cat. Smart bird 🙂
Exactly! 🙂
Smart birdie!! Great shots.

What a fabulous series of shots!
Thank you. It was fun watching the robin cool off.
That Robin was thinking hard. “Really – 110? Wow – someone left a nice pool of water – thank you. With a shower, I’m feeling much better and will go on my way. But, I need to mark this as a favorite on my GPS. These are caring folks. :-)”

The second to last photo is brilliant. He looks so affronted that anyone would photograph him in the moment of taking a bath. Honestly, no privacy!
Fair trade. Bath for photo!
Those are great pictures!

Thank you
Great photos! Glad there was a spot for the Robin to cool.
He must have been watching me. I had just refilled the saucer with fresh water.
