that is an excellent shot! i love how it is so clear on the bird and blurry on the background! Looks like you've been mastering on this skill! Great job! :)
You have made my morning. This is the first time that I have seen a blue jay - I can't believe how beautiful and vivid its colours are.
I do like your little feeder too - I'm showing this one to my husband and son in the home of getting one of them busy with the hammer and nails. Do you think I'm in with a chance - may be as an extra little Christmas present?
It's a little bleak here over the ocean - so its nice to see some lovely weather from you!
Hello jean wow it's good to hear from you. I was getting worried. And you didn't make the first chop. but, I can't play that here anymore anyway because of my download time.
I have had to cut everything to the bare bone. I am glad you like the bird picture though.
Good morning Tim, Oh my really? We get all sorts of birds here. Oh my in the spring when they are all migrating from Mexico back up north we get just about every bird there is.
I will try to get lots of shots when Spring comes back.
I hope you're having a great day and I'll see you soon!!:-)
I love the simplicity of the feeder, will have to build myself one toot sweet. There is nothing more serene than wildlife feeding. Thank you for reminding me what's important.
Hi LJ, I tried to drop by your site a while ago and I couldn't get in. My PC was wacky again. So I had to stop everything and do some more reconfiguring!!
Grrrrrrrr......I'm thinking about throwing it outside. I will be over in just a few....hopefully!!:-)
Hi Sniffie and crew. I will be dropping over soon. I had to work on my PC again this morning. Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to visit you today!!:-)
Hi Blue, Thanks I am glad you like the picture and yes my husband made it. He has all sorts of contraptions built and hanging around for birds and wild life!!:-)
Hi Jackie, this is such a beautiful shot! It would be nice to turn it into a cross stitch pattern. :D Would you like to join our contest? just visit www.imincultureshock.com
Oh Jackie, this is just so beautiful it almost made me teary eyed. You are such a stunning photographer. I believe that photography is one of the most stunning art forms, because it takes an eye with heart, and a pure soul, to see all of the beauty in the natural world and also, at times, the mundane. I honor your work so highly, believe it is a true act of compassionate, loving energy toward the world, and I love you lots and lots. Here's a big hug honey....

Thank you all so very very much. you are all just simply wonderful!! What a terrific day this turned out to be for me and I owe it all to all of you!!:-)
What a fantastic picture. My wife is an avid bird watcher and loves all the little feathery things. Every year a family of birds make their nest near the roof top of the house next door directly across from our upstairs bathroom window. So my wife quietly keeps an eye on their growth and nurturing until the babies fly away on their own. I'm sure she would love you little blue friend.

That is a beautiful bird. All we get are doves and sparrows, with the occasional gold finch. Oh well, Koko still enjoys watching.
Jackie, what a beautiful composition! And a beautiful Mr. Blue Jay! We love blue fev-vers!

Great post.
Happy trails.
The difference between the two is striking, but both are still beautiful! Interesting!
Wow Shinade those are awesome I like the before and afters but that sepia your using really gives a nice timeless quality to them. Nice job! :D
Wonderful shot.
Great picture of the blue jay. It came out so clear & colorful. I've tried to take pictures of birds but they never come out so clear. Beautiful!
how I wish it was closer than this!
