How cute. Obviously there to help you put out your wash.

@Marion: Or, it was watching over the wash! :-) I was out on our deck yesterday, and a bluebird was sitting on the corner of my neighbor's house. I believe that pair is nesting very near here.

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

Very sweet ... with a terrific muted green backdrop for that beautiful blue head ... I don't know that I've ever seen a bluebird (in the flesh) ... I think they prefer more wide open spaces than the urban neighborhood in which I live ... but, perhaps, this is your year to be blessed by the bluebird of happiness!

@Ron: Hey, Ron... wouldn't that be great? :-) Thanks for your comment!

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

Yeah, looks worried. I'm glad for them that everything turned out.

@Earnest: You had to feel sorry for this bird, probably worried and wondering... that's why we kept the stunned bird in its sight. It was a great experience!

Terrific series, and a story with a happy ending, bravo!

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

I love the muted background and the bird on the post is exquisite, very ' charme campagne' ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

It is a lovely shot. The clothes line gives it a nice relaxed look.

15 May 2008 12:13pm

@Michael Rawluk: Thank you, I also thought it was a good way to show the small size of these birds.

Alun Lambert from cheshire, United Kingdom

Fantastic image, truly. The dof and focus is perfect.

@Observing: Thank you.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

A very handsome bird, we don't get them here (well apart from the occasional vagrant that took a wrong turn over the Atlantic) so its lovely to see such a pretty type of bird.

15 May 2008 5:17pm

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you for your comment, Richard.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

This is a great follow-up to yesterday's capture - a fairytale with a happy ending!

Cheryl from Boerne, United States

pretty bird! Nice composition also! I thought about that bird today when we found a new birds nest in a bucket on our back porch with 3 little eggs in it!

15 May 2008 7:59pm

@Cheryl: Cheryl, that's great! You have to let us know what kind of birds they are... maybe some baby shots?
