Blue Jay with a Twist
ByCaptured at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, in Delray Beach, Florida.
To give the photo of the blue jay a little creative boost, I cropped and used JixPix (oil painting) software – seen in the second image below – and I really like how it turned out. The first image is the original capture.
And I’m posting this using my iphone 5. How cool is that!

Blue Jays are a beautiful species. I love the fact that the blue we see does not mean their feathers are blue.

I agree – they are beautiful… I didn’t realize that the blue we see is something other than the color of their feathers! “The blue color of the Blue Jay is a structural color that results from the reflection of blue light from the feathers, ” according to this site: http://www.wbu.com/chipperwoods/photos/jay.htm
Thank you so much for the interesting information!
