Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences
For my post this week I am sharing more scenes and birds from around my yard.. The sky shots are thanks to my dear hubby..The moon, birds and fence shots are all me..I love taking photos of the moon, I think it is because of the great zoom on my Canon SX40 camera.. I am off work and home today Nov 4th for Election Day. It is nice two Tuesday's in a row my work is closed, today for Election Day and next Tuesday for Veterans Day..
The moon shots from Oct 29 and Nov 2.. for my Skywatch Friday post.
The Waxing Gibbous moon on November 2nd..
For Tex's Good Fences.. I am sharing the fence behind the Redbud tree and azalea bush in front of our shed. And from last winter some tree branches took down our old split-rail fence..and last our neighbors driveway is between us and the next door neighbor. It has not been used as a driveway since we have lived here.. Our old fence is covered with vines and berries, the birds love whatever it is..
One of our red maples in the front yard, it was a pretty year for this tree.
I walked around our yard taking some of these shots.. Some birds photos were actually taken from my dining room window..My Cardinal looks like he swallowed a Christmas ball.. And shown in the middle side is the Tufted Titmouse.. Both of these birds are year round visitors to my yard and feeders.
More for my Skywatch Friday post, these are some of hubby's sunset shots from the fireroad... I love the pretty colors and tree silhouettes.. I hope you enjoyed my post, thanks for stopping by. And I appreciate and thank you in advance for your nice comments..

Hello Eileen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photographs and collages.
The moon is really great, but the cardinal and de sunset I like also.
WOW!!! LINDO demais! A lua, as flores e pássaros! Adorei!!! bjs, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeleteI love all the reds in your post today Eileen. The maple is superb and a prefect match for the Cardinal. He looks puffed up against the cold and I hope it's not getting too frosty yet where you are.
ReplyDeleteYes that camera really works well for the moon shots - great.
Enjoy your extra special days off.
What a beautiful pictures and mosaics.. very nice .. Have a good week. Saludos ..
ReplyDeleteThat one cardinal shot is funny--he is so poofed out!
ReplyDeleteThat fall color is so vibrant Eileen. Lovely photos, your moon shots are impressive and I loved the little red furball. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteThose reds are just amazing, especially the Cardinal and the last sky shot. Have a nice relaxing time on those days off from work too!
ReplyDeleteI like the reds of the maple, the cardinal, and the sky. Beautiful. Oh, and of course those moon shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I love the Cardinal all puffed out against the cold weather. Wonderful moon and sky shots, too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love the coloured maple tree and the puffed up cardinal great shot of him.
ReplyDeleteI loved your fluffy Cardinal photo
ReplyDelete...and moon shots
...and skyscapes
...and
You are the master at getting those moon shots and I love the puffed up Cardinals.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots all the way around Eileen!
ReplyDeleteThat cardinal must have thought it was a cold day as much as he's puffed out. :)
that sweet little cardinal looks like he swallow a tennis ball.. so cute and the moon shots are awesome, love the red trees to
ReplyDeleteHowdy,
ReplyDeleteLike your selections of fences and I looked also at your others you have up so pretty and the red cardinal. A fav.
your moon and sky shots are ALWAYS so dreamy. it's amazing how much beauty the sky provides!!
ReplyDeletelove that puffy cardinal, perfect timing on that beautiful image!!!
i just love how natural you leave your yard!!! reminds me of how i leave things around the pond, here. downed trees, brush, overgrowth of weeds and wildflowers. and the birds and critters love it, too. :)
ReplyDeletethat cardinal photo is PERFECT! we need to have him model for sets of christmas ornaments! :)
Oh my goodness, that Cardinal is something! Beautiful to see what's all about. Just a lovely and fun post this was, thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat close ups of the moon. I love the cardinal, all puffed up for the cold.
ReplyDeleteWonderful moon shots.
ReplyDeleteI bet there are a ton of birds in those vines. And, maybe another critter or two. Good pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe red maples are so gorgeous, Eileen! I loved seeing the cardinals too. I've been seeing a lot of chickadees at my feeder recently, as well as cardinals. I've been seeing some red-bellied woodpeckers in our trees too - I don't normally see them too often - downy woodpeckers are common though. I see a lot of goldfinches - they have changed from their brilliant plumage now - and they are often on my coneflowers eating the seeds. I like watching the birds, too, Eileen, but I don't see anything like you do. So, thanks for sharing "your" birds!
ReplyDeleteThose moon shots are magical. I can imagine someone walking around up there and looking down at us!
ReplyDeleteThe red maple is stunning. That tree seems to have coordinated every single leaf to turn red at the exact same moment!
My favorite, though is that fat, fluffy well-satisfied-with-himself cardinal!
love the red maple and the cardinal - so vibrant ( :
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots all of them, but those moon pictures are awesome. WOW.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to get a day off. : )
Cool moon shots! Love the poofy cardinal too.
ReplyDeleteNice fence and trees! The skies are great (tell your hubby) and of course, you take BEST moon photos! Great!
ReplyDeletelovely photos - the cardinal looks huge!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Eileen.
ReplyDeleteLove that puffy cardinal. I'm visiting from Good Fences. I enjoyed your walk about your yard...
Hi Eileen, My fav is the puffed up male Northern Cardinal, hands down. Have a great day today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful series of pictures Eileen, I always enjoy and admire your moon photos!
ReplyDeleteI have never managed such neat pics but I will have to try harder!!
The Cardinal and the Tit mouse are superb, how lucky to have them in your yard! Indeed he looks like a Xmas ball, LOL!!!
Congrats for the skies my favorite is is last one on the right! :)
Keep well!
I do so love seeing more and more Cardinals this time of year. Great pix, Eileen and all within your grasp...:)JP
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen!!

Dimi...
Your red maple tree is superb,dear Eileen!!!! As is the red cardinal How lucky you are to have those beautiful birds in your yard!!!
ReplyDeleteAll your photos and those of your hubby are top!!!
Have a nice rest and a happy weekend!
Many hugs!
Great shots, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteI have a Canon G15, which costs just a bit more than the SX40. It's a lot smaller. But I cannot get moon shots close to as nice as those. (5X zoom is what you pay for pocketability.) Also doesn't do as well on the far-away birdies.

Nice pics! I like those red skies!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photos. Love the fences, the moon shots and that Cardinal.. wow! So much beauty in your world, Eileen! Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection of photos. You get great shots of the moon.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the fencing, that shot of the neighbors old driveway was neat looking, very overgrown.
Gorgeous shots of the birds and the sky.
Olá Eileen, todas as fotos da natureza eu adoro, mas a Lua vista com esses detalhes eu acho extraordinário!
ReplyDeleteJá há tempos apreciei imenso as suas outras fotos da Lua!
Parabéns!
Abraços,
Ailime
Sabe, que há muitos anos vi em Lisboa Neil Armstrong (já faleceu) e os outros membros da equipa que poisou na Lua?;))! Eu era tão jovem...;))!
You have a pretty yard and I love those red leaves!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Eileen. Thank You

ReplyDeleteThe red maples are spectacular! Beautiful photos this week my friend! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat moon shots! The super puffy cardinal made me laugh! My word! Beautiful sky, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours in that sky.

ReplyDeleteLovely, colorful captures as always, Eileen!! I do love that "chubby" cardinal!! Priceless! Thanks for sharing!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, like the autumn atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteVery detailed moonshots. Cardinals are one of those birds I'm never going to have in my garden, a pity spectacular colours.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are impressive moon shots ... you can almost see the moon men working in the craters :) That must be quite a camera. Of course, all of your other pictures are superb ... I love coming over here and seeing how things should really look. Great job, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
Love those gentle fall shots around your shed and unused driveway.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours on your husbands photo's. Your shots are wonderful Eileen, love the trees in the backyard, and I'm sure the birds do as well. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteStunning shots of the birds and sky shots and do like your fencing shots as well. You do put out such great variety of images in your collages.
ReplyDeleteI love those Cardinals, such gorgeous birds. beautiful sky shots too. :)

Dearest Eileen; Wow, your fabulous moon photos again♡♡♡ And LOVE the natural atmosphere of you fence and Maple tree's color is just GORGEOUS♪♪♪
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet looking Cardinal (seems swallowed a Christmas ball, haha)
I was a bit out of shape, so sorry for belated comment, my friend.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Your photos of moon are gorgeous! Love to see those fall leaves too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moon shots. I also have a Canon SX40 and love it. I need to work on the moon shots though. I have nothing close to what you have done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collages! You always do them well.
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he swallowed a Christmas ball! Beautiful shots, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent captures of the moon and red maple - what a weekend visual treat!
ReplyDeletewonderful moon shots. Your garden must be amazing Eileen - especially with the colour right now. That cardinal certainly seems fluffed up about something.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog this week, have a great weekend.
The cardinal is stunning and so are the red maples! I like your photos of the moon; your camera does a great job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your post and your beautiful bird-friendly yard. And both of you are such talented sky photographers! You live in a wonderful spot.
ReplyDelete(Did not know that Election Day was a holiday/day off anywhere. That is interesting to me!)
I always love your moon shots!! Great skies, too.
ReplyDeleteIncredible shots! I am amazed of the moon pics and those of the birds. What colors those feathers have. And they are simply in your garden! Very nice! Enjoy your days off and have a good time! Christa
ReplyDeleteSuperb, the moon in so close, all of them beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great shots Eileen, but the little cardinal is my favourite one, such beautiful colouring.
ReplyDeleteThe moon has been beautiful the past two nights Eileen!! Love those cardinal shots. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice captures. Your photos are very beautiful. I enjoyed the full moon too. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are presenting a wonderful mixture of the moon, great autumn colours and beautiful sky shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
What a beautiful Christmas ball.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I love your vine-covered fence and the round fluffy Cardinal!
ReplyDeleteI do love the red cardinals! But all of your colours are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the moon, the maples, the cardinal and those skies!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures of the moon always very nice and bright. I think that really has never managed to get the moon so beautiful in the picture. Beautifully also colored skies and I can enjoy for hours. The red cardinal is truly magnificent. I Hortobagy again. Very nice weekend.
Lovely shots, Eileen, but I love the puffed out cardinal. Must have been pretty cold!
ReplyDeleteWonderful moon pictures! And lovely bird pictures. As always! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteEileen lots of great reds and oranges from the birds to the garden to the sky! I also love looking at the moon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky shots and the cardinal is just too cute..he is puffed up like a snowball. Have a super weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow...these are some stunning images from around our yard!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen!! Add me to the fan club of your moon shots, they are amazing! I also have the Canon SX40 and I've actually bought the camera twice when the other stopped working. I've not taken moon shots in a long time, and with the full one now, you've reminded me that I need to try... But it's cold! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour other photos, especially the cardinal are wonderful!! Enjoy your weekend, and stay warm!!
Great collection of photos, the moon is such a fascinating view in the night sky and the colors of the fall foliage are beautiful
ReplyDeleteGotta look at the definition of gibbous. It's an expression I've heard often in relation to the moon, but I'm not sure I know what it means.
ReplyDeleteMagical views, so colorful skies and a moon like I'll never be able to have a picture with my lens... nor red maple, only silver maples(lol!) Always a delight to walk and to see so much red in these posts of the week, Eileen! Thank you! (I must say so...) :-*
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful photos. I like cardinals so much that every photo of this species makes me feel good :)
ReplyDeletelol, seem like you liked it red today :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post filled with wonderful colors, birds, and scenery! I especially like the moon shots!
ReplyDeleteAlways admire your moon shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors and awesome Moon shots!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images Eileen.
