  17. Beautiful photos. Hyacinth Macaws are interesting and beautiful birds. Their color is the prized blue that gardeners try to get in flowers, and the color rosarians have never gotten in a rose. While I would love to have one of these majestic birds, I have my hands full with our Gold Cap Conure and Eclectus Parrot.

  31. Wonderful shots. I am not sure that it is because of our own mind thinking that these gorgeous birds are smiling at us (or at least me). They look very happy and trying to smile back and that are the magic to see!

    1. Yes!! They are indeed smiling! You can tell this huge difference between happy and unhappy birds. Samson was in full display beguiling me. He would flip upside down, look at me, and come out with a string of words, “Hi!” “How are you?” “What you doing?” He definitely wanted to interact. The lorykeet landed on me and drank nectar from my hand. You are absolutely right! They were smiling!! 🙂

    1. It is hard to find a stunning tropical bird species to impress an Australian. Of course the lorykeet is your native, but the hyacinth is different. So happy you enjoyed and so great to hear from you!

    1. Originally, I planted only blue, pink and purple flowers at The Holler. Except for the roses. But nature had her way and blew in other seeds. Laughing. Still most of the flowers are in shades of blue because I love it too!

  42. I am just enjoying your blues again Cindy, such extraordinary depths of colour, wound through with your poetic words, you have triggered childhood larkspur memories here 🙂

  44. “lol” I pinned your Blue Bird to my “Accessories to ♥” Board. Now it’s on my “Animals to ♥” board so I will delete it from Accessories. (I’m smiling at this one!)

    1. You were on my mind today. Maybe a mental message. Honestly I wish you could meet Samson. If he likes you, and he would like you, he goes to town, talks up a storm, flips upside down and asks how you are, gives you high five. It is impossible not to laugh in the presence of Samson. I hope you are well and gotta go see your animals to love board….sounds like a board I would love too! Hugz to you my friend~

    1. They work great!! I like the one also where people all over the world make up their own dances to go with the music. Pharrel saw it and cried. Doesn’t get better than this~

  48. I had beautiful blue hyacinth. They are all but gone now. Now the blues are those little weed florets. But I found some mixed bulbs that I’m hoping to plant tomorrow. I’m not sure if there are any blue in the batch, but while they aren’t – they remind me of poppies.

    You are a dear for reading all of my stories… I hope they are entertaining.
    Hugs. ~Jules
