I captured this little peep taking a bath-it looks like he was sleeping and I thought it was funny:) Just wanted to share. I did minimal processing on it since it is really "a just for fun image"

Nice capture! I love the closed eyes. That reminds me, I have a photo of a Canada goose taking a bath and it's completely upside down with legs up in the air. I'd never seen one do that! It was pretty far away for my 100 - 400 but maybe I can do something with it for the forum in the future.

This is a nice behavior photo and you timed it perfect Denise! One of the reasons I love going out into nature is watching the wildlife behavior...it's always entertaining for me.

Excellent timing, Denise. I like the closed eye pose and displacement of the water. It is hard to get so close to see such behavior. What was your shutter speed.

Sorry Indranil, I should have included it.

Denise, this is so cute. He looks like he's settled in for a nap and pulling up the covers. Great catch:)

So cute! As hot as it has been in Houston, that looks so nice and refreshing.

Nice image and application, Denise.

Fun to catch fun natural actions and expressions ... Even if the HA is not perfect! ;)

Too cute, Denise! Love the pose and closed eye. It really does look like he's sleeping. :)

That is too funny, Denise! Love the half in/half out of the water look. Great moment to freeze the action!
