. . . feed the birds . . .

. . . watched these blue jays 

out the kitchen window 

of shellene's cabin last week . . .

. . . they're greedy little guys . . .

. . . i couldn't help thinking 

of my dad . . .

. . . how he loved birds . . .

. . . all birds . . .

. . . these would have 

entertained him for hours . . .

 {see the three males?}

. . . females are much duller in color 

and lack the showy crest . . .

. . . what's up with that, chicks? . . .

. . . don't let the boys show you up . . .

. . . accessorize! . . .
