Blue

I was blessed to watch these two beautiful Stellar’s Jays come together for a few seconds, one giving the other a bite of food, then they flew off into the day. The intense blue of their feathers was breathtaking to see up close, as they are generally very elusive and one only catches a glimpse of that blue…
