A quite unexpected visitor

I was sitting in my accustomed chair by the front window, looking out at my gardens, when I saw this little guy:

Oh yeah. I've now set up my camera on a tripod at the living room window. I look like a total perv, but I don't care. :-P

Ha ha ha ha!
Thank you. I really felt like we all were graduating, in a sense. Ray and I were way more supportive of her than my parents were of me, although that's not saying much. :-/

We have the Indigo Bunting down here, but they only migrate through in the winter months and they are usually gone by April at the latest. I agree, they are brilliant and beautiful. Also migrating along with them are the Painted Buntings, so keep your eye out for them, too. They are all different bright colors.

Yes, I would take that as a good omen or sign. Congratulations to Emily upon her graduation.

Thank you. I love this experience, because I've been hearing them all along, and I never dreamed I would see one!

Thank you. It's so overcast and dreary here, it was mind-boggling to see. Nature is my god. :-)

How gorgeous! That color is amazing!

[plantmom]

Thank you. BTW, that's a totally appropriate icon for what we're all going through these days!

WOW how beautiful! it does look like an exotic bird.

I had to remind myself to breathe, it was so unexpected. I read up on it, and it's weird. They have no actual blue pigment; they're black, and it's a trick of the light passing through their feathers, which makes them that glowing color.

That makes them even more magical!!
