The mountain bluebird perched on the snag for a long time in a drenching rainstorm. While all the other birds sought shelter, he stubbornly remained on his perch. He wondered if it really was a bluebird day. The bird thought his brilliant blue plumage would attract a mate by reminding her of the sky on a sunny day. No such luck!

Great contrast between rust color in the tree and blue of the bird. Good job.
Thanks. Sorry you didn't get to see them while you were here. They are an unearthly and beautiful shade of blue.
Beautiful!🙂
