Does this count as blue? It's more gray I think.

Great shots from everyone so far!

Tim S - I really love your kingfisher shot the best - Everything about that shot is perfect - A beautiful pose, perfect composition, great bokeh, sharp bright...perfect!

Capt. Ray - While the bird and sea lion shots are a hoot , I really love the boats. I wish I was on one of them an on the water...right now!

Tim - Beautiful bluebonnet photo and so appropriate for a Texas photoforum

Laurie - Love the bluebird and how you were able to use DOF to get a great background but the bird and perch is sharp and clear. But that parrot shot (#5) is just outstanding. The composition is great, the sharpness and background are wonderful, but the colors are just incredible.

Here are a few of mine...

This one was from the ferry on the way to High Island...
Canon 20D, 400mm lens, f5.6, 1/1600 SS, ISO 200, Av



Dawn at the boat launch at Caddo Lake State Park...
Canon 20D, Kit (17-85) lens at 24mm, f20, 3.2 sec, ISO 100



A beach cut on Achille Island in Ireland last October...
Canon 20D, Kit (17-85) lens at 17 mm, f22, 0.3 sec, ISO 100



Sunset - just stepped out of the deer blind after shooting photos of deer and quickly changed lenses for this shot...
Canon dRebel, Kit (18-55) lens, f10, 1/500, ISO 100

Hard not to repeat what others have shown, but I'll add a couple of my favorites in blue ---

Great Blue Heron at sunrise


Dragonfly


Tricolor Heron breeding plumage


Not sure what the flower is, but it was taken last month at Mercer Arboretum


Little Blue Heron


Mt. Denali (or McKinley if you prefer) in Alaska taken from a moving train
