“When Nature made the Bluebird, she wished to propitiate both the sky and the earth, so she gave him the color of one on his back and the hue of the other on his breast.” John Burroughs

Steve, I love the John Burroughs quote! Great pictures too.
Terrific photos! So glad I found you on Twitter. I live in a city, work in glass and steel and view your photos as a vacation from my space. Thank you for sharing these beautiful scenes!
Thank you Mia! I saw it in the “Birds and Bloom” magazine and I thought it was great.
Thank you Desiree!
Nice post Steve!
Wonderful post of one of my most favourite birds…
What a charming little bird… great shots Steve.
Great quote & pics!
Very nicely done. Your blog / photography feed is a joy to receive! ~ Red
Lovely quote; lovely photos!
great photo’s, have you had the chance to shoot a western bluebird? if so a comparison of photo’s with the eastern would be great for woodcarvers.

Steve, I have not seen a Western Bluebird yet. I did photograph a Mountain Bluebird a couple of years ago but they don’t look much like the Eastern or Western. Maybe one of these days I will be able to photograph the Western.
Your wonderful picture & quote of this beautiful little bird exemplifies why it is called
“The Bluebird of Happiness”. Good going Steve!
Wonderful photos, especially with these colours and details. Like it!
