Great Blue Visitor
Sometimes it pays to live in a small town… where the neighbors call you to tell you when visitors are in your yard. I have chased this guy down a while. Guess the neighbors have seen my unsuccessful attempts.. and helped me out on this foggy raining day. shot captured on Bell’s Island, North Carolina.
Had enough
the fly away

Beautiful capture in the fog, Angel. Poised on one leg? Gorgeous series!
Angel Perry replied
It amazes me how they stand on one leg which seems like hours. Thank you!
Jan Timmons
Love the two photos to the right for their off-center subjects, but couldn’t find them to comment. (I’m a big fan of off-center subjects, probably because my photo instructor keeps emphasizing that.)
Angel Perry replied
I got all the wing in the bottom one… but not sure why its getting cut off at the moment. I didnt post them alone… wasnt sure they were good enough:) Im still learning:)
