Shoulders Up.....Take Off

I was watching this Red Winged Blackbird as he search under the lily pads for something to eat.....then he kind of just lifted off and then flew...he looked silly as he flew away (see extra). It was a pleasant day until this afternoon when the rain started. I guess we couldn't expect the nice weather to last forever......and the grass and flowers are loving the rain.

I didn't mind it because I liked getting things done in the house.
