For a Peaceful Blue Monday!
The Turquoise Jay is a vibrant blue bird with the black mask and collar characteristic of many species of Cyanolyca jays. It is considered relatively common and seems more tolerant of human-disturbed habitats than some of its relatives, but many aspects of its natural history, and population size and trends, remain unknown. The Turquoise Jay is found in humid, montane evergreen forests and elfin forests on both sides of the Andes from Colombia to Peru, with a center of abundance in Ecuador. This jay forages for insects and other food items in the canopy or in patches of dense, relatively short vegetation, often in small groups and mixed flocks.

Lake Pukaki, Mackenzie District, Canterbury Region, South Island, New Zealand.
The water colour of the lake is a bright turquoise due to glacial flour, made from extremely fine rock particles that have come from the surrounding glaciers.
The background is Mt. Cook.

The San Francisco Bay Bridge is not as famous as the Golden Gate Bridge, nevertheless it is a very pretty structure.
Today I gave a "composition in the field" class to students of the Digital Photo Academy. We learned about ND (neutral density) filters in broad daylight. For this photo I stacked two ND8 filters, set the ISO to 100 and aperture to f22 to get an exposure time of 4 seconds. This smoothes out the waves nicely. The ND filters also change the colors a bit, e.g. they are not totally neutral. We get these beautiful turquoise tones because of it.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a long exposure RAW image.

Eumomota superciliosa
Türkisbrauenmotmot ...aus der Familie der Sägeracken!
Wikipedia: In Costa Rica it is known as momoto cejiceleste or the far-less flattering pájaro bobo ("foolish bird"), owing to its tendency to allow humans to come very near it without flying away.
The turquoise-browed motmot is a well-known bird in its range and has been chosen as the national bird of both El Salvador and Nicaragua
Essentially the saltwater fish of the bug world, leafhoppers are probably one of the most beautiful insects out there.

I don't have a positive ID on this bird, photographed at the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, in Key West, Florida. But I think that it may be a Blue Dacnis (Dacnis cayana) aka Turquoise Honeycreeper, a species common to much of South America. Unfortunately, it's holding something in its beak, which accounts for the unusual look, but I like the shot otherwise.
This motmot is a fairly conspicuous resident of Central America. It is very easy to hear its subdued two-note call that one could describe as having a hint of a croak in its tone. They seem to like hanging out in the top ends of tall trees, which can make them hard to photograph. The surrounding twigs can also hinder the shot we might want when they do drop down. They were never skittish, but instead went about their business and I would simply have to shoot and hope for the best.
A fun story about this shot. I met a local on my second day in Honduras. He gave me and my travel companion some intel and invited us over to his house. In an hour, I got twelve lifers in his yard / property. Too often the best part of birding is the amazing people we meet.
