  He must LIKE you, Linda. They are the most alert and jumpy birds in the yard! So difficult to get them to pose...you certainly have the "touch!"

  The wedding went wonderful and it was a beautiful spring evening. She got married in an old plantation home and the spring flowers were all in bloom. I'll share as soon as I get them in a couple of weeks.

  Linda- This is so gorgeous. I love bluejays. Have one that visits our yard but have not been able to get a good picture of it yet. The colors are so vivid and beautiful. Love the composition and the lighting. In particular those details that capture every fiber of the bird, especially the eye and the seed in its mouth is incredible.
Stunning work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care.
