Dream, when your feeling

You know he's singing, "DREAM... When Your Feeling Blue" WC# 423

Music and Lyrics by Johnny Mercer - 1944, song made popular by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Roy Orbison among many.

An appropriate song I think for this Lazuli (Lazz-U-Lie) Bunting, that can't do much but be "feeling blue" whether dreaming or awake!

Looks like the lighting was really harsh here but the bird came out looking great. I Like the colors the pose and sharp detail in the bird!
Nice one Craig!

Craig:
I like the wonderful colors, singing pose, and contrasting BG. A lot of song title options for this one.
