My, those blue jays are beautiful birds, indeed; such vibrant colour! The different effects on the irises are lovely, and I can't help but notice how their blues are almost identical to the blue jay's. That sunrise is certainly a sight for sore eyes, (especially mine - have been jet lagged for days, wide awake all through the night and falling asleep in the early morning hours!). Thank you for sharing all the loveliness around you!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-16255103201192367372014-05-28T10:54:10.427-07:002014-05-28T10:54:10.427-07:00You do such a magical job of your mosaics (I know ...You do such a magical job of your mosaics (I know it is really not magic, but talent and hard work!).

The Blue Jay pictures work so well against that green background, but then the Blue Jay is a very, very handsome bird. Love the sunrise - you were up early to good effect.
