♫ We stand on guard for thee ♫

I finally got a pic of a Bluebird. Out of 6 or 7 pics this was the best focus and the only one with a breeze strong enough to capture the Canadian flag fluttering nearby. I contemplated cloning it out but that seemed too unpatriotic! ;-) Oh Canada!

Many thanks for dropping by!

[Carolyn White]

Beautiful capture, Anne!!!

[Pam Hawkes]

Great capture Anne. I have yet to see a bluebird!

[Terry]

looks as if he is posing

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Wonderful capture :)

[☠northy]

i think it's lovely... the flag gives some context to the shot... and it does look as tho' the bird is standing to attention!

[Dixie Goode]

This is wonderful

[❀ Lynn]

Great capture! The flag is pointing at the bird and adds great contrast. It doesn't take away from it at all.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture. He is a pretty bird and it is cool how you caught the flag in the background, too.

[Lyn]

Wonderful, Anne - aren't they hard to capture? I spend so much time chasing them. . .this is lovely and I'm glad you left the flag.

[Darlene]

What a great capture, Anne. A beautiful bird and nice to be able to include the flag in your photo.

[Rick Schies]

Yep, I agree, leave it as it is. Great shot!

[bkb in the city]

Love this shot. Glad you left the flag in it

[Jennifer Ruge]

I like it with the flag. You sure do have talented birds in Canada if they can tweet your national anthem. Ha ha ha. . .love the caption

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Great shot, he looks like he's singing to your anthem :)
Lovely colours :)

[Dione Giorgio]

I thought it was the Maltese flag, Anne. White and Red with the George Cross on the white part. That is a beautiful bird and very nicely captured.

[K1W1]

Great shot Anne :)

[Denise]

Nicely captured Anne.

[Jann]

Nice capture esp with the flag in it.

[Carole Imes]

Wow! What an awesome catch. Especially with the flag....adds to the interest and glad you didn't clone it. The bluebird's colors are so beautiful. Fav!

[Allison Maltese]

The flag is pointing right at the bluebird as if to say, me! me! me! Neat shot.

[Stacey]

I agree the flag adds interest to the shot...if only it were open just a tad more so you can see the maple leaf. That is a great shot of the bird.

[Mike Warren]

Lovely color and detail. I think it is tweeting "O Canada". Great capture.

[Judith Johnson]

Beautiful bird, and a lovely flag in the breeze.

[elkehochban]

fantastic! I've never even seen a blue bird. He must have been happy about the big curling win!

[Margaret Tryon]

Terrific capture Anne

[Shirley Banford]

Beautiful capture. Bluebirds are elusive creatures to get on film. My son has them nesting in his bluebird boxes. I try and try, and just get a blur as they fly away.

[Zoe Ferrie]

Lovely capture, great focus and colours!

[Paula]

I love a proud Canadian:) Fabulous capture!

[Shirley]

[Beth]

Very pretty. I've not managed to get or ever see a blue bird around here. this is an excellent shot and the flag adds a lot of coler.

[Sarah D P]

[Hudd]

[Sabaa]

Great shot, I love the flag as background!
