 I've been obsessed with capturing the behavior of the bluebirds in my backyard. I've taken so many pictures it was very difficult to decide which one to use in this challenge. They have gotten so used to me being around they allow me within a few feet of the nest without objecting and they go on with their nurturing. I chose this one because to me it just exemplified a classic image of one of nature's beautiful creatures.

Wow, after 22 years a new PB! Thanks everyone:)

Oh and a new PB. WTG. Somehow I just thought you had already scored way over, even over eight.
