There are three nekkid couples frolicking in the rain outside my house.
A cardinal pair, a mockingbird pair and a bluejay pair are enjoying the rain this morning.

I’ve watched them play, sing, talk, preen and just completely enjoy God’s bathtime. Each pair has kept to itself and the male and female have been quite close together up on the roof, along my front wall and in the Rose of Sharon right outside by studio window.
The female cardinal was particularly talkative, although the bright red male would, on occasion, interrupt briefly.
The mockingbirds put on a duet that included a very long call that included the lyrics and melody of several other songbirds. Cover tunes, you might say.
The bluejay male is a brute, cocky about his manhood and dominance, and he’s shouting at all the other birds to get off his lawn.
Not to anthropromorphize or anything.
