This picture is of a Blue and Gold Macaw which is among the largest parrots, with tails almost as long as their bodies. It was taken on our recent trip to Florida at Jungle Island garden.
These kayaks were shot this summer at Lake Sammamish state park in Washington.
These are for Weekly Photo Challenge: Show us what “yellow” means to you. Also find the last week entry for Twinkle here as the pingbacks were not working then.
Such a beautiful bird! Love the photos!

Good to know that. We went there for a vacation trip this year for two weeks during Thanks Giving. We visited Orlando, Miami, Keywest, Everglades and Kennedy Space center. It was a wonderful holiday 🙂

Good one, and am sure the parrot is expensive as well. You have captured with good DOF and if you can practice rule of 3rd s, am sure your photos will shine more :)…………best wishes.

You’re welcome. At least I’m a better judge of photography than I am of distances.(I’m still embarrassed, I’ve lived here for 36 years, and I’ve been to Seattle at least 3 times I think.)

I am sure it must have been a while with your last visit at Seattle. Time to revisit 🙂
