    I can't believe I finally got a pic of a male bluebird. I shot the photo through my glass door which I had just cleaned today-serendipitous!

    Oh, he is a wonderful sight. We don't have bluebirds here, just bluejays. I love the way you caught him on the watering cans, very professional looking.

    Oh, Bethie, how beautiful!!! What a great catch. We have our indigo buntings back, but those little buggers will not pose.

    Fantastic!!! I've always wanted to see a bluebird. :-D Actually he looks a lot like our British robin in shape but, obviously, not in colour. He's soooo handsome posing there on the watering can for you. A great photograph. :D

    That's just fantastic Bethie! I think because he was so kind to grace you with his presence and posed for a photo that you should now work him into one of your next projects :) What do you think?

    Ahhhh so I'm not the only one with a folder like that after all!!! It gets thicker and thicker and, one day, I WILL get around to drawing or painting some of the wonderful things in it. :rolleyes:
