As I was lying on my back in my garden today…daydreaming about 10,000,00 things all at once, I suddenly heard a shrill cackling about 2 feet from my head. Well I am never without my camera when I am outside and as luck would have it, this STELLERS JAY had landed on my suet feeder !! I couldn’t help myself…I had to shoot him (with the camera that is) This is such a fantastic colored bird and entertaining to boot. Click the blue link above to learn much more and hear a recording of his voice
Of course that overload of blue set my mind racing as I looked back toward the sky (still lying on my back) , through my Japanese maple starting to leaf out. The sky was ELECTRIC blue like the jay…..so I took a photo of that!!!
Then I decided to go inside the studio and pick out some glass that matched my blue vision of a very cool pendant! As I write the first stages of a series of blue pendants are in the kiln thinking COOL BLUE thoughts!
By this time EVERYTHING blue in the garden became a target for my Canon!!!!
The coolest blue shot I took was my windchime in fused glass. The sound this chime makes is heavenly!
That’s the blues for today!!! I will show you how those pendants look after the first stage firing later this week!
Loved your blue day – there is never a dull moment in your mind! Jan
the blue of that sky has got to be my all time favorite blue. wow! and that jay!!! i have never seen a stellars jay ….is he big? i am hearing loads of blue jays in the morning…..they are so vocal right now and singing all their songs and screams. in fact…..at about 4 am is when some of the birds start in……and its pitch black out!! these photos of yours are so pretty. i could look at that sky all day long. I think that would be cool to paint that scene, complete with the japanese maples, on the ceiling of my bedroom!!!! looking forward to seeing the blue pendants!
You sure got the blues….
