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.

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!
