I found this Blue Jay sitting out in my backyard. I thought that the green fence looked good with the blue of the Blue Jay.

The blue-faced honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis), also colloquially known as the bananabird, is a passerine bird of the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae. It is the only member of its genus, and it is most closely related to honeyeaters of the genus Melithreptus.

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is a historical mosque in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of the Ottoman Empire (from 1453 to 1923). The mosque is popularly known as the 'Blue Mosque' for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.
It was built between 1609 and 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction.

I found this little guy on the sidewalk this morning during my walk. Its wing is wounded, but it seems well other than that. Needless to say, I couldn't just let him there near the street.
Where flowers bloom so does hope.

Iris sibirica, the Siberian Iris, is a flowering plant in the genus Iris, native to eastern and central Europe and northern Asia.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 50-120 cm tall. The leaves are glaucous green, narrow and fairly rigid, blade-shaped, 40-80 cm long and 2-4 cm broad. The flowers are typical of an iris, borne in late spring or early summer on unbranched or sparsely-branched stems held above the leaves, each flower 4-7 cm diameter, mid- to purple-blue, often with a paler whitish or yellowish centre.
NO INVITES with BIG SPARKLY GRAPHICS. PLEASE, TRY TO RESPECT MY WISHES.
I prefer simple honest comments, rather then a copy & paste of an award code.
Many thanks!

For Friday's flower power.
Before roses, hybrid irises were my first love. I had maps of each bed, complete with variety names, dates of first blooms, height, etc. Then iris borers struck. I fought back but they were relentless. Ironically, irises I gave to my next door neighbor are doing fine, right across the fence from my closest bed.
No one ever said that life is fair.
