Sunday visitors

A few weeks ago I had the company of two fledgling blue jays. They spent Sunday afternoon on my back patio and side porch. The next morning I wondered about them and walked the back yard looking for them. I spotted one - sitting on the bird bath. Okay, he could fly that high.
Well, next he showed me he could fly a little higher and landed on the top of the swing frame. But, hey! He wasn't done yet.
Next he flew to the roof and I knew he had learned what was needed. I was amazed of how they were not afraid of me. I didn't dare touch them or bother them after my photos were taken.
Sophie didn't like the idea they were so close on the side porch and just beyond reach on the other side of the window.

One of God's gifts

I have enjoyed watching the Hummingbirds and Orioles from my kitchen window this year. You have to be quick to take their photo.
