These are all fabulous VJ! That photo of the bluejays is exactly how I think of them – always yelling about something. The photo of (I assume) your granddaughter and the dog is priceless. They’re just so in sync as they gaze down and like Deborah said, it makes me want to know what they’re staring at.
