Its tail is held up rather than down, which is what gives the whole composition its silhouette, and the branching stems bring a gentle garden feel to the arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;color:#4A443C;margin:0 0 36px;\"\u003eHere is the strange thing about that blue. It isn't there. No bird has blue pigment in its feathers — not one. The reds and yellows are pigments you could grind up and keep, but blue is built instead: a spongy lattice of keratin, structured at a scale smaller than the wavelength of light, scattering the short blue wavelengths back at you and letting the rest pass through to be absorbed. Crush a blue feather and the blue is simply gone, leaving dull grey behind. Crush a red one and it stays red. So the flash of blue that stops you mid-sentence is not a color the bird carries. It is a color the bird makes, out of shape and daylight, every time you look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 36px;padding:34px 30px;background:#FAF7F0;border:1px solid #E7DFCF;border-radius:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;font-family:'Mulish',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.22em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8A7B5C;margin:0 0 .5em;\"\u003eThe Story Behind It\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;font-size:18px;color:#C9A23F;letter-spacing:.35em;margin:0 0 1.2em;\"\u003e✦ ✦ ✦\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Newsreader',Georgia,serif;font-size:18px;line-height:1.9;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 1.1em;color:#3A352C;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"float:left;font-family:'Newsreader',Georgia,serif;font-size:3.2em;line-height:0.7;padding:0.08em 0.12em 0 0;color:#C9A23F;font-style:normal;\"\u003eT\u003c\/span\u003ehey were halfway through discussing what to do with the spare room when she stopped speaking.
