Beautifully done Harvey, the tone and setting compliments the day... and I have seen a lot of those days lately.

The light served you well. Outstanding perches in both. He's a good looking Jay. Both are very nice and the second is my favorite.

I'm very envious Harv; I have Blue Jays too, but they won't pose for me that nicely rain or shine!
Love the raindrops in the image, and I too think the perch is obviously something special. Maybe that's my problem....I need a new perch - :). The detail in the Jay is excellent.
Very nice job!

Thanks a lot, Steve. A good perch is always nice to have. Peanuts also help a lot. :)

These are great shots, the rain drops add a lot to them.
