I wasn't really impressed when he first came up on the computer until I accidentally hit some key and it came up as my screen saver. This little bluebird was a definite plus there. He's still my screensaver.
Well I am not surprised, he deserves pride of place. Lovely soft feathers and pretty colours, and he is looking so attentive. Nicely placed in your shot too.
You've gotten some blue skies! They make a wonderful backdrop for a picture, don't they. The one I caught in my eagle picture was a very fleating moment in the day where the clouds thinned a little and the sky had patches of blue. That's the reason I chose that particular photo to post; most of the other photos from the day were dull with their gray sky. As for getting no branches in the view, I kept walking towards him, looking for that branchless place to stand. He kept an eye on me the entire time.
