Before I read the description, I was gonna say they are different (often people assume the blue throated is a B&G). The Blue and Gold looks like its in bliss, hehe. Nice capture.

I favorited this a few days ago, but never left a comment, and I keep coming back to look at it.

This is a great shot, I wish I could be lucky enough to capture a moment like this.

Perfect portrait of affection.
