This past weekend I have been enjoying my backyard birds and all the pretty flowers in my yard and on my deck. I am joining in on Mary's Mosaic Monday with my mosaics and Mellow Yellow Monday with my yellow birds and lilies and Mary the Teach's Ruby Tuesday with my Cardinal and red flowers. I hope you enjoy my birds and blooms.

The hummingbirds are really attracted to red Salvia.

Below is the female Ruby Throated Hummingbird. The male shown in my mosaic has the pretty ruby red gorget.

The Stella Dora Lilies seem to grow well in our yard and are looking great.
The Lantana is one of my favorites I planted (hubby planted) in a pot on my deck.

The Pine Warbler below looks similiar to the American Goldfinch but their beaks are shape different. You can see the Goldfinches above in my mosaic.

Thanks to the gracious host of these fun memes
and thank you for stopping by my blog for a visit.

YOur Birds and Blooms are beautiful.It is fascinating to see the flowers others are growing as well as the birds that visit your yard.

Enjoyed your birds and blooms mosaic Eileen. Your photos are always so good.
Beautiful mosaics! I'm now following you, happy Monday!
Flowers and Birds...love them both. I just bought a hummingbird feeder today.
How could you not enjoy that wonderful collection of birds and blooms, outstanding!
Eileen, I am not going to any botanical garden, just hang out in your backyard. What a magical place you have!
You have have some great shots of birds and blooms. The mosaic are beautiful. Happy MM:)
Amazing shots you got of the humingbird - they move so fast I'm impressed you had time to get a photo.
What wonderful nature mosaics. I love watching my hummingbirds on the feeder. I love when there is more that one and they knock each other off.
Enjoyed your photos of birdies and flowers. Valerie
Beautiful bird shots and mosaics. Since our dog died and left the yard, we are seeing a lot more wildlife including the birds. It's wonderful (though we miss our dog of course)
Such a fine collection of garden photos. The birds are wonderful (enjoyed seeing the Ruby Throated Hummingbird), and your red Salvia is stunning.
What a beautiful mosaic of birds & blooms! I'm jealous that you have a hummingbird who lingers - ours flit in and are gone in the blink of an eye!
Very nice mosaics with the birds and blooms. Great photos of all, but especially of the Hummer and other birds.
A beautiful collection of birds and blooms in your garden. It's getting hot here and my garden will have a hard time of it.
I enjoyed looking at your blooms and birds. The mosaics are attractively presented. The birds and flowers are colorful and well photographed.
I like how you've combined birds with blooms. Eileen.
Eileen what charming birds in this mosaic!I can't think of a more relaxing activity than bird watching among the flowers in ones garden!I have enlarged your mosaics and am in my glory!
I certainly enjoyed this post!
Gorgeous photos Ellen! I love hummingbirds even though we don't see them in thsi area.
Your mosaics are beautiful, I love all the reds and yellows. The little Pin Warbles is so cute and does resemble a goldfinch.
Oh my goodness Eileen -- these little critters are sooo fun!
Thanks so much for capturing and sharing with us all.
Hugs!

Your backyard is so beautiful! I love the hummingbirds; I wish we had some up here!
Excellent photos...

Very nice photos, refreshing colors creates a good mood. You have quite a number of domestic birds in the yard. Here in Finland the summer is only just beginning and the birds have arrived in a few months ago nests. Swan broods and months after the chicks can be expressed. Have a nice day!
Very lovely birds and lilies. Fantastic choice.
Just lovely, Eileen - your garden must give you enormous pleasure. I liked your egrets and herons, too. We have a heron that visits our garden, principally to fish though yesterday he was strolling around on the grass well away from the pond. One of these days I'll capture his protrait :-)
I always get so excited when I see a hummingbird in our gardens. Your pictures and mosaics are beautiful!
What a treat you have for us.
Horse Back Ride for MYM.
The lantana flower is so bright in color. It is much more beautiful than the bird.
Yes, they are lovely blooms and birds. I like both the collages, and single photos. You have lots of beautiful colors in your yard!
The birds are so sweet. Blooms and birds, how beautiful and cheery. Lovely photos
You have a wonderful yard. Love the colors in your mosaic. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful picturtes Eileen of your flowers and birds. I love that male cardinal with its beautifgul colour red. So gorgeous.
Have a nice week
Love your photos .... and the yellows :o) Wish you a great week!
A good day for the Hummingbirds, Eileen.
Hi Eileen,
Thanks for stopping by to check out the mosaic of our crazy puppy in the bikini. We love her dearly.
You blog is beautiful and the pictures of your garden and the beautiful birds are just amazing. You and your husband must put a lot of tender loving care into it.
Your beautiful blooms attract some beautiful birds! Lovely shots
Oh my I love hummingbird. How did you take a photo of them, they are so fast. Happy Monday!

Beautiful mosaics. I love your backyard. So many beautiful birds and blooms. Great shots.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
It seems that a garden can and will attract all sorts ov avians. I have not seen hummingbirds in our yard, but plenty of Cardinals (male and female) in all seasons. Pretty flowers are wonderful, and the feathered friends we have just add so much to the beauty all around...
Wonderful collection of photos! your garden must be so beautiful with so much colors around.
The middle photo of the collage of the hummingbird drinking is priceless.
What beautiful glimpses into your own little piece of nature!
I can't get over how much that first shot reminds me of my own deck with a pergola over it. :)
(Round The Bend)

Beautiful - just beautiful!
How I wish to have some birds chirping in my yard. Anyway thanks for the visit you made in my blog
These are gorgeous shots Eileen. Do you ever get the Birds and Blooms magazine? It is one of my favorites. You could send your photos in to them. They would snap these up.
You've indeed got the eye of nature's many wonders.
Exotic birds that never visit this far north.
Beautiful mosaics as well.
P.S: The ibis takes first prize. Breathtaking!
