This was the cute scene out my kitchen window today.  Lucky too, because I wasn't feeling very photo-inspired today.  I'm using all my creative energy finishing up some costumes for Sakuracon in Seattle next week, so I haven't headed out with my camera for two days now.

Happy New Year!

Beginning 2012 with a lucky blue bird...

the most brilliant blue scrub jay I've ever seen!

September 6

There were three or four scrub jays staking out territory in the trees in front of the co-op today.  They like the seeds, which are visible behind the bird's tail.  This one posed and paused long enough for me to photograph.  I like the partridge in a pear tree look.  I don't like the trunk along the left frame, but if I try to crop it I either lose the tail or the upper branch, so I think it has more balance uncropped.
