Bathing Sparrow

Bathing Sparrows, originally uploaded by malyousif. I love just sitting at the window and watching various birds enjoying themselves in the bird bath.

Regardless, I think they make the whole area look much nicer and fill in the pot quite nicely. Have [...]

Mr. Froggy relaxing on a rock between the asparagus and the cleaned up pond which is now equipped with a biological and chemical filter to fight the damned green algea and the stink that it creates. We can actually now see the bottom of the pond.
