Surrounded By The Blues (Jays That Is)

Well I did not win the lottery, but I did wake up, so I guess that is good fortune enough. How do you blog in the morning when you haven't even started your day? I guess you wait for something to happen or be more observant about your surroundings. Surprisingly there was traffic this morning and I had to wait on my way out.  I look at delays as opportunities and I was especially surprised to see hundreds of blue jays fly and land and fly again. They must be migrating, making a ruckus with their calls. They seemed to like the holly trees and in no time flat every tree in sight was stripped of its red juicy berries. It was a spectacular vision. Clouds of the brilliant blue birds. Their hues are so vibrant and they are playful and fun to watch. I enjoyed the dance. It's really amazing how exquisitely Nature is planned. Twice a year, the holly trees bear fruit and it just happens to be ripe in the spring and fall when then migratory birds are on their journey. Fast food at its finest.
