Check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology web site and look at the entry for Blue Jays in the About Birds link. You will find that the bad rap they get about eating other bird eggs is exaggerated. Then, before you call them meanies, take a guess at what animal on this planet has consumed the most bird eggs since bird eggs appeared on this planet.

They are a gorgeous bird and a lot of fun to watch. Smart, active and capable of some astonishing and beautiful vocalizations beyond the raucous commonly heard jay call.

Taba, yes you may paint him, thank you for asking and I’m glad you likey! He was just out eating again, too! (Yay for eating seed and not baby birdies!)

Karen, I pulled the stylesheet earlier today so I could mess with it a bit. I wanted to pull the right column up higher so I modified the background. Mark and I need to have a new pic taken! (HINT HINT, HONEY!) Anyhoo the pink is back up! 🙂

Hey Leanne,
What happened to the pink and purple colors on your webpage? They were my favorite!
The lion portrait is to die for..absolutely, completely stunning. Love the photo of the blue jay! They are something.

Hiya Sheila! I hope you’re creating some beautiful new pieces too! I will have to go check. 😎 You’re right, too, about the adjustments. Just when you think that phase is over, it does a wierd twisty and there’s more to go through. 18 months is a long time to be alone physically and then have someone around all the time again! He keeps hogging up my side of the bed! 😛

Sue – I saw a huge red tailed hawk this morning when I ran for groceries. I was hitting myself in the head for not having my camera with me (I usually bring it everywhere). It was about 30 feet from the side of the road in open grass picking something apart. To think of all the shots I miss makes me crazy, so I overcompensate with the ones I am able to get! I’m glad you enjoy them, I have plenty more that I haven’t even shown yet! 🙂

I have really been enjoying your photos.. how you manage to get these great animal pics is a wonder. It seems like they always move just when you think you have them. BTW… your lion painting is one big WOW!!!!!

Hi Leanne,doin’ fine today, just keeping busy and enjoying my studio. It’s nice that you are back and cranking along and adjusting to stuff. I would imagine that it is somewhat challenging to adjust to the change of having your guy around the house again. I mean no matter how much you love him you still have to adjust after so long a time. You’ll do great, you are a trooper.
I’m enjoying seeing your progress with the paintings 😀
