If the light is right, there will be iridescence at the neck area. The light is not right.

Closeup photograph of a blue jay with out of focus branches in the foreground and background and a blue sky in the background. The blue jay is facing right in profile and only the jay's upper chest, neck, and head are visible. Blue jays have white-feathered bellies and chests, blue wings and backs with a blue, white, and black checkered pattern on its wings, a blue head with a black neck ring and mask under and surrounding its eyes and white face and chin, dark eyes, silvery-black beak, black legs and feet, and a blue crest on the top of their heads that can be raised and lowered.

#CraftBeer Tallboy

Pro Tip: You might as well go for the big can, since you know you would drink two of the small ones, anyway

#beer #brew #IPA
Also, out of the large cans, it tastes more like draft. Note that the ABV is in the sweet spot of ~7%.

If you leave pomegranates on the tree, they split open
We take those, open them, and offer them to the birds

Here is a house #finch on the table with the pomegranates

I don't remember if he ate any of the pomegranates

Neighborhood watch.

Happened to look up while photographing some cedar waxwings yesterday & caught this gray squirrel giving me the "You kids stay off my lawn!" stare.

Photograph of a gray squirrel clinging to the side of a large, heavily textured, green lichen-covered tree branch with a large, textured, lichen-covered branch behind it, smaller branches in the foreground and background and patches of blue sky visible in the background. The squirrel is facing left and leaning against the branch leaving it's left front and rear legs and feet visible and it has its head turned further to the left to look directly at the camera. Gray squirrels have grey and brown fur with white abdomen and chest fur, a long bushy tail, a triangular head with dark eyes, proportionally large ears, a typical rodent muzzle, long, black whiskers, hand-like fore paws, and claws that allow the squirrel to cling to vertical surfaces.

There's a curvy sandy path leading to the saguaros. The path is bordered by prickly pear cactus. The mountains in the background are framed by a dark sky.

Expand and magnify the photo to see how sharp. I also employed some editing tricks to make it even sharper!
