Happy Thursday everyone!
"I hope everyone is well! Be Safe. Be Happy!!
Hubby and I are thankful that we are staying virus-free, we are wishing for an end to the restrictions and request to stay at home. Our weather lately has been cold and yesterday it rained for most of the day. My post and photos today are blue themed, are you feeling blue? The blue sky, Indigo Bunting and Blue Jay, the moon with the blue sky background.
I am thankful for the pretty skies, my simple pleasure is skywatching.
Love these pretty Indigo Buntings, such a pretty color blue.
The Blue Jay is a regular visitor to the yard, they love the peanuts in the shell.
The Indigo Bunting is one of my summer birds, they have a unique sound. It sat on the feeder but did not stay long. I think it was only checking out the feeder to see what was available on menu.
Can you believe Maryland could have snow flurries on Saturday? Our Temperatures are like 20° or more below normal. It does not feel like May weather.
My latest books are:
When you See Me by Lisa Gardner, D.D. Warren series # 11
In the Bleak Midwinter by Julia-Spencer-Fleming
I am always thankful for your visits and the comments.
Live simple and be happy! 😊 Spread joy & happiness!

Those Moon shots are astounding! very dreamy and magical, love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit and comment. Enjoy your day!
DeleteYour blue theme is very soothing today Eileen. I find walking down the side roads, watching the sky and distant mountains very peaceful (partly because no one else seems to be walking down those side roads when I am). You share such beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteHugs.

Thank you Joy! Take care, enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteThank you Anni! Have a great day!
DeleteRemember the instrumental song "Love is Blue" from the 60s? One of my all time favorites. I never get tired of blue and I am hoping the blue jay that has been showing up here at my feeder will stay this summer. I even like their call.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and closeups.

ReplyDeleteHello Marie, this bunting is one of my summer birds, they are pretty. Thanks! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteNice touch with the blue theme. I think many are starting to feel blue and want out. I want them to have patience.
ReplyDeleteHello,Red! Thanks for the visit. I am being patient, waiting till it is safe. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteThose Indigo buntings are very lovely indeed.
ReplyDeleteI do not feel blue now, but I did sometimes during the lockdown - which is now over in Italy.
I wish you a serene weekend and still keep safe!
Hello, I am glad Italy has recovered and is re-opening. We are a little slower here. Thank you for the comment! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteThe Indigo Bunting is so beautiful...we see them out but of course never here in the city. I am amazed that I cannot remember the last time I seen a contrail...I keep telling Roger 'Look, no jet streams anywhere!'
ReplyDeleteIs In the Bleak Midwinter good? Any title with a season mention in it always draws my attention...specially winter.
Thanks Rose! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteI love watching the skies. I do love clouds too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week

Thank you MB! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteOh, those blue birds and the blue sky photos are beautiful. We are having unusually cold weather just north of you in PA too. I put my houseplants out last week. I will have to bring at least some of them back on on Friday night.
ReplyDeleteHello and thanks for the visit and comment. I hope we see some average May temperatures soon. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!

Thank you Carol! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
DeleteWow! These are so pretty in blue and pleasing sights. The indigo bunting is cuter and you sound really cool about the weather while we’re amid hot summer with 35 degree Celsius.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stay away from the virus and I hope you continue this way for the rest.
Hello Jeevan, I hope you stay well too. Take care and enjoy your day!

DeleteThanks Dee! I do not like this cold wet weather. I hope all goes well, wishing you all peace and comfort!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue theme Eileen. I love all the photos and the bird is very special. I got out today and it was good. I avoided everyone as there were many people at the small park near me. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteDelightful blue captures to drive the blues away :)
ReplyDeleteI like your blue theme, but I am not blue here. I saw an Indigo Bunting just yesterday. I used to see them so much more, in years past. Thanks for linking up, Eileen. Have a great weekend and stay well.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Eileen. that bunting is wonderful. I had one in my yard this year. It's cold here still, and it's snowing lightly.
ReplyDeleteHow blue-tiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies and moon shot ~

That indigo bunting is a beautiful bird. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWe are having much cooler than normal weather ourselves.
My wife has put out several bird feeders and we are enjoying the birds and the squirrels.
Beautiful bird shots. My wife puts out a single peanut each day and rings a little bell to attract our local blue jay. Have a safe and healthy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great photos Eileen. The Indigo is a bird I remember only seeing once in my life and the Blue Jays are always a welcome visitor to the garden. Love your sky and moon shots also. I think we must have the same weather. There is an arctic blast coming in over the weekend so I am told. Enjoy your day and weekend :)
ReplyDeleteTolle gelungene Challange der Farbe "Blau".
ReplyDeleteEine gute Woche und herzliche Grüße
Lieselotte
What a pretty sky blue bird. And your crescent moon shot is amazing, reminiscent of a children's rhyme about jumping over the moon.
ReplyDeleteI love this blue theme, Eileen. I think we may all be a little bit blue these days. Perhaps for some time to come. But oh, with visions like this, blue takes on a different and very beautiful meaning. Have a lovely weekend. It will be VERY nippy!
ReplyDeletethe World Blue reminds me of one of my favorite Sarah McLaughlin songs...Hey Blue. Lovely birds and skies! It's cool here too but I know the heat will come.
ReplyDeleteamazing shots, I love that kind of sky the most and you found even matchy birds ;-)
ReplyDeletelol, your post is BLUE today. Love all blues :)
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen,
ReplyDeletethis is really so beautiful !!!!!
The color blue is beautiful anyway and also those beautiful blue birds. A blog to my heart. If my grandson Jahnay could see this, he would jump into the air. His favorite colors were blue and white 💖💙🤍
