This blue Jay happened to arrive as I was sitting on the sofa in the ‘Sparkle Zone’ cup of tea in hand, and my camera within reach.

Taking pictures sitting from the sofa is hardly optimal, even if it is comfortable and cool in the house (it’s been over 103°F – 40°C in the sun today). I was pleased to get a picture at all, even if I had to crop out the window frame. Fortunately, this window is one of the few that doesn’t have a screen.
