I’m so glad I found this. You linked it to my page and not the post. I’m preparing the round up tomorrow and didn’t see you there. Sorry I didn’t reply but I never saw it come through. If you want to pingback to the post, it is here. https://oureyesopen.blog/2020/07/10/bird-weekly-photo-challenge-feathers-of-blue/ So glad I looked! Wonderful pics of the Indigo Bunting and Kingfisher. Both hard to capture! 🙂

Thanks Lisa. For some reason, even though I follow you, I miss your posts. I’ll try following again.

It’s alright. I’m struggling to keep up right now with replying to everyone in a timely manner on WP and seeing everyone’s posts. My Etsy shop is starting to take off. 😊

Ooh, very pretty birds. For some reason, I’ve always liked the name “Indigo Bunting.” I have no idea why.

I do too – it sounds otherworldly.

Otherworldly, yes, that’s a good way to describe it.
