Probably what makes my Monday Meme Trifecta so much fun is that I never know until the Friday before what sort of prompt Mo is going to serve up for Manic Monday. It’s fun and easy to come up with something for Blue Monday and for Mellow Yellow Monday, but to make it fit with the “Mo factor”, well that takes some strategic maneuvering! 
Mo has prompted us with “birds” this week, so without further ado, I bring you two specimens – you guessed it, one blue and one yellow – from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
I found this little guy in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In the spring of 2004, I was walking the paths in the Pangani Forest and some splashing to the left startled me. There he was, splish-spalsh, takin’ a bath
I think I’ve blogged this photo before, or one close to it, but no matter – he’s a cute little guy, and I’m happy to have him on the front page again.
Fast forward to October of 2004. The sun was going down, and it was a bit overcast, too. I was walking that promenade between the fountain and the World Showcase Plaza at EPCOT, and stopped to check out the turtle action in the lagoon. After watching them a while, I looked up and saw an egret hanging out with some moorhens, and then a little further off, this beautiful little blue heron. He stood still just long enough for me to get this one shot, and then he took off into the gathering dusk.

The blue one is a little blue heron, as opposed to the great blue heron. I know, such highly technical terms! LOL!

The little yellow bird is such a pretty bird. I love the blue bird. I have never seen a blue heron. That is beautiful. I can’t get over how blue it is. I have seen white ones and grey ones. Wow, so pretty.

Hello Tink, You did a great job with all the events together. Good job.
I think the yellow bird looks so cute all fluffed up with his bath. Since we lived in Kissimmee and in So. Florida most of my life, I am very familiar with those lovely Herons. A great couple of photos.
Hugs…Jeanne

I like it both. They are so cute. Thanks for visiting me.

Both specimens are simply wonderful and look like they would belong in a Disney film. The yellow one is my favourite as the whole picture is so very endearing. The heron though has the most amazing colour. Both captures are great.
