Hallo Rick
Soon I'll start to get green with jealousy because I envy you for this photo.
Soon Loot and I will also be going away for a few days for our 27th wedding anniversary and we also hope to bring back some good shots.
Sometime soon I'll revisit your gallery.

Sorry short of time today.
Kind regards
Anna

The first bluebird on TN seen by me. Previous postings were of jays just tagged as bluebirds. It needs a bit contast and levels adjustment as told by wire. But the overall compo and details are very good.

Hi Rick,

A beautiful Bluebird in a wonderful pose. Are you yearning for spring? Colors are superb with wonderful shading - details of the face and wings are marvelous. The story you told about the cat is an all too familiar one here. The desert is not pet friendly.

Hola Rick.
Reading Your note, You and Lucy live a great moments in Your new Travel trailer. Last saturday i went to bed early in the ranch were I work and woke up at 4am it was little cold
-5C and went to see the stars, and the only thinking in my mind was "We are nothing"
This is great image of a Blue bird, we have some around here too.
Tomorrow I will post a couple of young deers, please tell Lucy this one is going for her, and I hope she like it. Take good care.
Saludos My friend.

Hi Rick,

Gorgeous blue on this Mountain bluebird!
I really like the composition having the bird showing all his feathers in very good details and showiing us his profile so we can appreciate the beautiful catch light in his eye.
Very well done!

Hi Rick, we have so many bluebird boxes set up around our place (in Ontario),and I've even set up a couple myself, but I have yet to see a Bluebird. This is a beautiful bird. You've done a great job here in capturing this image. The pose is great with him showing his back, and turning his head back to provide full visibility. Very beautiful colour and excellent detail.

Thanks, John

Hello Rick,
What a fine bird and what a fine capture of it!
The technical quality of this Mountain Bluebird image is first class and the POV, pose and composition against a neutral BG add to the attraction of this image. the catchlight in the eye is a bonus.
Thanks for sharing this beauty, Rick!

Ho, I had not seen this beauty. I have never seen a live one neither have I seen one that close! Beautiful bird, the blue is striking. And I am very happy for both of you with the acquisition of this new trailer - wow, what a fantastic night and what fantastic nights you will live! Staying out at minus 15, fantastic! Hope you have many nights ahead of you to count the stars!
