Hello, I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday.
The last few days we have been enjoying the Autumn colors locally around our lake and of course I am always watching my yardbirds.
On Sunday morning , Goldie Girl and I took a walk down to the lake. I think the colorful reflections on the lake were pretty.
I tried hard to get a clear shot of the lake but between the slippery mud near the edge and the tree limbs I could not manage a perfect shot.
On the way to the lake I took shots of the beautiful and colorful trees along the fireroad.
Taking walks is one of Goldie Girls favorite things to do next to playing with her tennis balls.
This mosaic includes some of my Pine Siskins and a pair of Purple Finches.
Above is a male Purple finch that is visiting my yard with his lady friend below. The male is a pretty raspberry color.
The Purple Finches have that white line on their face near their eye.

Last weekend, I starting noticing one Pine Siskin hanging around and I thought to myself he was a scout and would be bringing back lots of his friends. I was right yesterday I counted around 20 Pine Siskins on my deck railing and feeders.
The Purple Finches have that white line on their face near their eye.

I don't know what it is about observing and quietly watching birds go about their business, but it is so relaxing and makes you forget anything that may be anxiety in one's life.
ReplyDeleteSparrows as a community always look so happy.
Lieben Gruß am Sonntag und ganz viel Sonnenschein für die nächsten Tage...

What gorgeous color you have in the surrounding woods. Makes it hard to believe that there is any other time of year that could be more beautiful. Cute little purple finch--nice capture. Have a great week. Mickie :)

Beautiful. What a great close shot of the purple finch.
ReplyDeleteI think the fall colors this year are especially beautiful!!
you have gret closeups on the purple finch today. Love them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking!!!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful world of yours! Cathy
ReplyDeleteYour photos are magnificent! I love that you compiled a few mosaics which only serves to emphasize the golden beauty of the season and your beautiful dog. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Pine siskins? I think I have to take another look at my "sparrows". Well, I'm not much of a birder, am I-LOL!
ReplyDeleteLots are wonderful autumn colors in your mosaics, Goldie fits right in with the fall colors!
ReplyDeleteStill working on this whole purple finch/house finch deal. I think the purple finches are plumper also. I think I just have house finches!
A beautiful entry!
Beautiful post and what a gorgeous place to walk. Nice mosaics. Have a great week.

Your autumn color is beautiful there, Eileen! Golden Girl looked happy to be along on your walk. I also enjoyed seeing the birds stuffing there beaks with seeds
ReplyDeleteIt's a glorious time of year! And aren't those purple finches cute up close! Happy Fall to you and Goldie girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat Fall colors and shots !!
ReplyDeleteAlways look forward to your photos of your travels and nature - thanks for sharing. Starting to get some color here - hickory nut tree over my courtyard is a pretty yellow now.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
Beautiful fall colour, love the tree trunks in the photos. I also love watching the birds at my feeders. Enjoy the week:)
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen---beautiful color you have captured on your camera. I love this time of year--what a great walk you have.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your fall colours and local birdies. Now I'm wondering if I have pine siskins or female purple finches at my feeder as I thought they were sparrows! I don't know my bird very well do I. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of these pretty birds. I didn't know that about the white stripe near the eye. I suppose that they are needing a lot of nutrition for the journey south. Do you know where they go?
ReplyDeleteReally great photos. I like the Purple (Rasberry) Finch and the Pine Siskins. Your "Goldie looks beautiful and bet she is loyal too.
ReplyDeleteYou photos are always wonderful!
I don't know the pine siskins. We must have them here, so I must not be paying attention.
ReplyDeleteEileen, what gorgeous color! Love the trees along the edge of the lake. The bird photos are awesome. Love the raspberry colored male. I can see why Goldie loves viewing nature with you!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
Eileen,
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures of fall color and the birds. Love the purple finches.

You images are rich in colour and like fine wine meant to be savoured.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a font of knowledge when it comes to birds. The scenes of the lake and autumn colours are just stunning. Goldie Girl tones in well with the colours.The raspberry birdie is cute.
ReplyDeleteDearest Eileen,

ReplyDeleteI was thinking about how many different shades of green I was seeing as I walked home tonight. Fall with you - spring with me!

I love your mosaics - I've only done them with flowers so far, and hadn't thought about landscapes. But yours turned out so well I just might give it a go myself!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the different birds in your area - but I'm clearly a girl who is easily impressed by the flashy and showy, because Mr Purple Finch is my favourite!!!
Great fall photos Eileen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall views in your area. Goldie Girl looks like a lovely companion for a walk. I have not seen a Pine Siskin here in a few years. Wonderful mosaics. Valerie

You are such a great guide in the world of animal and plants. How beautiful are the golden leaves and the reflection of the coloured trees. Thanks for your tour. Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteIt sure is beautiful at the lake! Goldie Girl is such a cutie!

Beautiful colors and photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour in your woods, Eileen. So glad you are enjoying the fall.
ReplyDeleteWow - so very very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe Pine Siskins are such beautiful birds. I smile about the muddy trails. If there's mud, I will fall. That's the rule. I hate it so much. It's nasty business...walking stick or not. This was my favorite time of year living when I lived back in Wisconsin. Enjoy it. That weather with pumpkin pie is perfection:)
ReplyDeletewhat lovely autumn colours and the male purple finch is a lovely looking bird!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteLove your autumn pictures... what a colorful post!
Warm greetings, Anna
Autumn looks amazing where you live too. Goldie looks strikingly gorgeous in the sunlight~

ReplyDeleteWhat stunning nature captures, filled with wonderful tones and contrasts.
ReplyDeleteNice set of photos! Love the fall colors and the birds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I hope Autumn sticks around for a while...I'm enjoying her this year :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didin't slip into the mud!
