Western Bluebirds live at The Holler, but basically never visit The Holler Spa.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when these beauties showed up in force!
I am convinced they came,
as bluebirds of happiness,
to wish you a very Merry Christmas and even Happier New Year!
To you and yours this season,
and into the New Year,
Cheers from The Holler~

They are very beautiful birds….used to see them all the time in Virginia.
Haven’t seen any of them in Texas yet. Maybe there are none here, I don’t know.
Wishing you the best in 2019 Cindy!

Happy are those who have love for others,
Sad are those who live for others.
This one is really great. I enjoyed it.
Do you believe that there is a cycle of happiness that runs as long as we pray the lord and embrace the dear nature?. I tried explaining it in my post . Hope you like it.

Absolutely beautiful! I see these at my local park this time of year. Looks like you are into birds; my husband and I love to bird-watch whenever we can. East Africa is one of our favorite places to watch hundreds of birds 🙂

Hi Cindy, I enjoy your photographs! I came across some of your bluebird photos from 2018 when I was looking for photo references and was wondering if you’d mind if I used one to paint a small painting. I’d love to give you credit for the photo. Would that be alright with you?

I would be honored and would love to see your painting. I think you may be referring to Western Bluebirds. Lots of them live here, but they are the shyest birds I have ever managed to capture. Where I live they have so much space and they are magical elusive birds. The time they settled on the water was epic for me, and maybe them. Please, paint them and thank you დდ

Thanks so much, Cindy. We have the western bluebirds here in Silver City, New Mexico too.
I love to see them at the birdbath, too. Not sure how to include a photo to you on this blog but I will share my results with you.
