There are four Bluejays in this lousy picture. My apple-gees for the quality and the possible squint headache caused by the eyes attempt to focus something that can't be focused. But Camera can't help it. I have sat on it one too many times. The poor thing keeps snappin' along in spite of my posterior abuse. It's not dead yet! It can still catch a great shot! Today it just couldn't. Anyway, I'm sharing this pic cus it kinda sorta illustrates in a round about sorta way something that happened yesterday when I went to the back door. As I slid it open, a dozen or more Bluejays, seeking refuge from the rain, flew out from under our back porch. A beautiful explosion of blue! Well, of course I was hoping for more this morning. I had Camera up and at the ready just in case. I got nothin'. Then I saw why. They were all under and around the neighbors porch. No wonder. The neighbors have a feeder out for their feathered friends. We do not have a feeder for them. The neighbors also have an elevated porch with plenty of room underneath. So, what made the Blues use our porch yesterday? Nuff brain cells have been used pondering that one. I'm just glad they did. Phone cannot seem to function this morning. As a result, OBACE has released this report concerning the current conditions on the Front Porch. Cold. Cold turned colder because of the mild winds. Dry, cracked and irritated skin sure to guarantee a perma-frown. And partly cloudy skies. Oh, and I almost forgot. Extremely slippery Front Porch steps, walkway and driveway. :) Yep. That about covers it! May you always have a safe refuge from the bitter cold, my Fellow Travelers. Love and Happiness to you as always! A WIP! Leave us not forget the WIP!
