I am hating the grain (panning in dim light) in this shot. Despite that, I am posting it for one reason: to share the Azure!

I am a huge fan of these birds for their royal blue and orange/rust combination. I have missed them on many previous occasions as they are always on alert and fly too fast. Today was a different story though. This guy was busy checking out a mate who was chasing an insect at this instance. This infatuation was good for slow photographers like me!

Almost missed this little rusty fella, but for its loud songs.

Same neighborhood as the previous bluebird but not the same one. Oh, there were so many of them... it was all blue all around (OK, no points for guessing the exaggeration here).

Loved the attitude of this bird. Also, this was the only time I saw a bird flip me a bird.
