Local Colors

Hello, I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Since we were away last weekend we did not plan much for this weekend. We took a walk on the bike trail looking for some fall colors there and around our lake. When I am home on the weekend I have to check out all my feeder birds. I miss seeing them while I am at work during the week.





Photos in my mosaic are some fall colors from the local bike trail, Goldie Girl, some geese on our lake and my yardbirds.


A mockingbird also seems to like to eat the pokeberries.


Above is a pretty Purple Finch and a Tufted Titmouse.


Some of the brighter colors from our walk on the bike trail yesterday.


 A Great Blue Heron we saw at the river next to the bike trail.



Goldie Girl went to the bike trail for a walk too.


On the way home from the bike trail we rode around the lake look for a bit of color.



There was just a little bit of color around the lake. The leaves on the trees are either still green or just turning brown. Are you seeing lots of fall colors where your live?



A chickadee and the Purple Finch on my feeder.



So these are shots of the local color and a few of my yardbirds.  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

  1. I love your bird photos and the colour that is just now developing where you are Eileen - it's past its prime here, and most of the leaves are begging to be raked into piles to be jumped in! You live in such a great area - so picturesque - I love that you take us with you on your walks with Goldie Girl and bike rides. Great fun and great scenery.

  5. Lovely shots. We are just now getting some good color. I hope the upcoming rain doesn't make all the color fall of the trees.

  48. I hope the pokeberries will not have frozen up by the time I get back to Illinois at the end of the month. They may have bad side effects in people, but the birds seem to love them. Beautiful photos, Eileen!

  67. Wonderful shots! I love the variety of the autumn scenes, and am a bit jealous! :-) It was 100 the day we went to the zoo (about two weeks ago)...last week was in the low 80s but now were back to the 90s. But to us the 80s make for fall temps! I was thrilled to get to see the tiger swimming...and we went mostly to see that baby zebra but mama and baby didn't get close enough for very good photos of them. The kori busterd is an endangered old European bird and I was fascinated...a nice day all the way around!
