Blue wings on a branchDrives the gray away
Bringing color to my world
Each time I go out to shoot I tell myself I'll take pics of something else.
Then these beautiful creatures show up and I get so caught up in
trying to capture the "perfect" shot that thoughts of anything else just
fly right out of my head.
This is a far from perfect shot. I was very far away so I had to crop it a lot
so it has that grainy look you get from close cropping.
This was my first bluebird shot of 2010. If you look closely - you can
see that this bluebird has been banded. I don't have bluebirds in my yard - so they
are an extra special treat when I see them.
Oh, he's just magnificent Kerri! I so love them, and am fortunate to have them year round here.
ReplyDeleteKerri,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and I love the post. Birds are to you what flowers are to me...I try and try to expand...but always end up with tons of flowers. Your bird pics are fabulous...each and every one.

ReplyDeleteKerri I never ever tire of your bird shots.... or any other pictures you choose to show...
ReplyDeleteThe Bluebird of Happiness - very special.
ReplyDeleteOh no - never tired of cute chubby little bird pictures! So cute!
ReplyDeleteTired of bird pics?? Never! Stunningly beautiful photo of the bluebird and the red bellied wood pecker also, and the hawk and all of them! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I haven't visited your blog for a long time. I have to find the way to organize my time better. This little bluebird is lovely and its color. I love the photo.
ReplyDeleteNo not as long as you publish nice picture like this one! I love it, it is so blue ;-) You not gonna get me bored with this kind of pictures ;-)
ReplyDeleteI never grow tired of seeing photos of cute birdies. Keep 'em coming! This photo is just as lovely as the others. :) Theresa
ReplyDeleteHe is so beautiful, you can't be tired of seeing such colors.
ReplyDeleteI would be so glad to take just one bird photo, but it is not written in the stars for me.
Have a nice weekend!
961 pictures. That's unbelievable, and I thought I took alot of shots! You did a fine job of cropping. It looks great and who wouldn't get excited to see a Bluebird in January!
ReplyDeleteB.
what a beautiful capture!
ReplyDeleteI for one never tire of your bird pics. They're always beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteIf you took this that Saturday maybe this little guy was your bluebird of happiness!
Lovely Kerri!
Thank you for your wonderful comment about my squirrel. Coming from you it was especially appreciated.
Oh, this is sooo beautiful Kerri! I don't have much luck with bird pics; it's always flowers or landscapes for me. So I am always delighted to see your beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to know more about that little bluebird? Like where it was banded and how old it is? I sure wish we had more Bluebirds in our yard but I seldom see them,and when I do they aren't nearly this colorful.
ReplyDeleteNice capture Kerri!
Such a sweet bird..and such great color. I never tire of bird pix!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your bird pics. I'll take grainy over "interpreted" pictures that have had a colorized makeover. I like to see what's real. Personal preference.
ReplyDeleteKerrie, I will never tire of your bird pictures, but may just run out of superlatives to describe them.
ReplyDeleteThe vibrant colours of this blurbird are really lovely- all the more so because we don't have them here.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful pic.
This is lovely, Kerri!
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of looking at any photos you take. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, never tired of them. Love these happy little bluebirds. I only wish they would sit still long enough for me to capture a photo.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the blue bird, I am going to make an effort this spring to erect some bluebird houses.
