Blue Thursday


I'm trying to ignore our cold, foggy weather.  We are under a weather advisory for air stagnation through Sunday.  Just like living in Victorian London (without the smell of coal).

That said, I've been working on "Winter" a bit.  This photo does not do the fabric justice - it's a very pretty ice blue - not gray.

Every morning when I go outside, I am quickly surrounded by Scrub Jays and Steller's Jays.

If I can't have Cardinals, these birds will do to provide me with some Winter color.

Much like Crows and Ravens, the Jays will eat about anything. 

Besides the sunflower seeds, I usually toss out some stale bread...

...or cold french fries!

As I said they'll eat about anything! 

And look pretty while doing so.

Such a pretty blue those Jays have! Our Jays are a much lighter blue. This morning, I actually heard the weatherman say that your part of the country was having a stagnation. I had no idea what that meant as we've never heard a weather term like that in this area.

I never heard of stagnation either! I think the world is going nuts making stuff up as they go along. Now they are naming every single weather front that blows through--didn't know that till today! Hello? Not enough to do?? Get a REAL job! Doing REAL work!! Meanwhile, I love the pictures of the jays--they certainly liven the countryside! Hugs!

I am getting very tired of these cold,foggy bad air days!! Love to see the jays! We had them at the spot of our feeder even before we put it up.
