Catching The Mystery Bird

One day I went on a morning walk around the neighborhood and decided to take pictures of some of the flowers and animals I saw. Mexico really is so beautiful. What I didn't expect was to find a unique bird that would leave me thinking about it long after it was gone… more on that In a bit.

First I twisted through my neighborhood streets and got to the busy main road.

These bright red flowers with yellow tips were so pretty! I especially like the red whiskers sticking out of them!

I do wonder what the green pods hanging from the bush were.

Later, I saw flowers just like the red ones but a happy yellow color.

On a big bush I saw lots of pink leaves grouped together to look like a bouquet of flowers.

I turned the corner and was on the way back home. There's a grassy lot right on the corner full of trees, cacti and other tropical plants. On the way there I saw something colorful fly by me. There in the jungle patch, hiding in the trees was an exotic bird! Its body was ink black, but its wings were a vibrant blue! I'm so angry my pictures couldn't do it more justice! When it flew away, I was sad, until I saw more of them hiding amongst the plants! There had to have been at least three of those brightly colored birds!

The flowers were a nice find, but what really captured my attention was that brightly colored bird. It had to have been around 10 or 11 in the morning in that jungle patch where I found them. I want to see them again…and take better pictures!
