I have had very few opportunities to photograph bluebirds over the last 8-years. Today was my day. 25-30 degrees, wind blowing 20-25mph and overcast. I am not complaining.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

It was your lucky day Ted! Sweet set, but that second shot is the pick of the litter for me! Love the rustic fence.

They were worth waiting for!! Your images here are beautiful, as always, Ted!!
I agree with Sandy, the rusty colors of the old fence are a beautiful complement to the BLUE birds. LOVE these!!
