I Clicked it Up a Notch - May's Best Photo/LEM Vibrant Colors

Courtney over at click it up a notch is hosting a photography contest where we are to pick our best photo taken in May.  Wow!  That is harder than you might think!  Not that I'm bragging about all the fabulous photos I have taken :) ... not at all.  But picking just one photo?  Yikes!  So I narrowed it down to five, then chose one of them.  Here's my pick ...

A lovely parrot from the Erie Zoo.  This was actually taken on May 1, go figure.  But I absolutely love everything about it.  And I can't wait to go back to Erie Zoo so I can spend more time in the bird cage!  :)


What's your favorite photo from May?  I can't wait to see!

Also linking up with Live Every Moment's vibrant colors challenge.  This is pretty vibrant, wouldn't you say? :)
   

EDIT May 31:  I just saw that my parrot photo got picked in the Top 3!  Woo hoo!  
I am truly surprised as there were so many wonderful photos!  
You can head over to Live Every Moment and vote for your favorite.

I love parrots, it reminds me about my parrot which I had when I was 6=34 years ago and he is still alive:)
I really like how colorful that parrot is.
