Bluebird of Happiness

A pair of bluebirds perched on the little birch tree outside my kitchen window. The wind was blowing at 35 mph and the birds were having a wild time hanging on, and I couldn’t resist shooting through the window.

    Hi Karen
    Wow – fantastic shot, who has cleaned the window before you took this lovely photo. :LOL: Wind speeds up to 60 km/h. incredible because the image radiates peace and harmony.
    Sharpness, brightness and composition, everything is perfect….. a big compliment to you.
    Goes direct to my FV…
    Many greetings
