You Looking At Me?

That’s what I think he’s asking me, as I stood there and took pictures of him.

His name is Gucci, he’s 30 years old, and he’s a hyacinth macaw.   He lives in an exotic bird store that we passed by on our drive to the soccer game last weekend.  My husband is the bird lover – he had a blue and gold macaw and an orange-naped Amazon back home.  Plus countless other birds, big and small.  So we had to stop and take a look inside.

There were other birds in the store, but they were inside cages.  I tried to take pictures of them, but they didn’t come out too good.  Gucci was the only one outside on a perch, so even though he didn’t sit still long enough, I still got some decent shots of him.

Out of all the birds that my husband has introduced me to, this is my favorite.  I just love that deep blue-almost purple color.  He’s a pretty bird, isn’t he.

Purples, Blues and Greens

I could have spent all day on this exhibition (from Michael Bruce Florist), taking pictures from every possible angle. Maybe taking a picture of every flower on display.
This was my absolute favorite from the Flower Show. Yes, these are the color combinations that draws my eyes and that I use on my projects, so maybe I’m partial to them.
But to have the colors together on a flower! on an orchid! Wow is all I can say.
