BLUE   is my favorite color and I have away been drawn to all its hues. It is  the color of the sky and the sea.  Symbolically it stands for:

depth and stability

heaven

balance of mind and body

loyalty and trust

wisdom

faith

truth

wisdom

Blue is also the color of some of the cutest tiny birds I found in India – let me introduce them to you:

India  Blue Tit

 

Shrike

The final offering is the bird du resistance – it is so rare that even the Panna National Park rangers had never seen one before – and it is hard to miss, being brilliantly colored.   However they are extremely skittish so I was happy to catch at least a few decent photos.
