Story Behind the Photo
This Scruff Blue Jay (“Scruffy”) and his family are regular visitors to our home every morning – he loves his peanuts and sunflower seeds. Sometimes he gets a little greedy and tries to pick up two peanuts at a time and succeeds!

Story Behind The Picture
This photo was taken at one of the timeshare resorts in Palm Desert, California. I felt that the quote was a good match for the picture which shows a clear reflection of the duck (a life lived with honor should be a true reflection of ourselves). Also, this photo has been cropped to avoid showing the various items of trash that were found floating in this pond. I will be requesting the Management at the Resort to attend to the clean up and maintenance of these grounds immediately.
