This brilliant male Eastern Bluebird was basking in the mid-morning sun, perched on top of the pruned Crepe Myrtle. I have to say, this bird’s beauty always takes my breath away. I guess God still gets the trophy for “World’s Greatest Artist.”

These photos are so phenomenal. My 90 yo mom wants a painting of a bluebird, and these images are just perfect with all of the detail! Thanks for posting them.
Thanks so much…and if you paint one, please show me how it turns out! In all fairness, it’s hard to get a bad picture of a bluebird. 🙂
I will! These shots are so detailed. It’d be much harder without them. Nice compositions, too! You’re a talented photographer; your photos are consistently good.
My all-time favorite birds. They have been visiting our backyard box and will be nesting soon. Great captures and lovely backgrounds!
They have been visiting our nesting boxes too. I so love it when they start bringing their babies to the feeders.
So lovely…such a beautiful blue. He posed very nicely for you.
He did strike quite a pose, didn’t he? I was just sitting there singing away. 🙂
Sweet – and lovely poses!
He really was a handsome fellow. 🙂
Oh, he is simply gorgeous!!
He made me smile…and he seemed more than happy to pose for me. Pretty sure he knows he is irresistible. 🙂
