Happy Thankful Thursday!
I was very happy with the flowers we picked this spring, they are still blooming, the Lantana, Upright Fuchsia and Salvia. Some of the trees are shedding just brown leaves, not many colors being seen here.
The female Red-bellied Woodpecker has found the suet ball feeder.
"Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Lady Bird Johnson
The Lantana is one of my favorite plants we bought back in the spring time.
Can you find the little bullfrog? Our little pond with the frog, turtle and moose yard ornaments.
The Upright Fuchsia has been blooming since spring.
"Happiness blooms from within."
Always thankful for the blue sky..
This is a tall pine tree in our yard
I am thankful for my pretty flowers still blooming in October.
A thankful heart is a happy heart.

All those things are beautiful indeed Eileen. It's really lovely when the flowers hang on - their colours are so cheerful. The upright Fuschia is something different again!
ReplyDeleteLove your pond and ornaments - it's fun having little whimsies like that in the yard.
A lovely post, cheers and always nice to catch up again, Sue :D) xx
Thanks Sue! Enjoy your day!
DeleteI love the Red-bellied Woodpecker, Eileen. There is one outside the window here, an industrious worker but not so colorful.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds and flowers, and the little bullfrog is so cute! The upright fuchsia is so pretty. I love the color.
Happy Thursday!
Thanks Marit! I was really happy with the Fuchsia this year! Enjoy your day!
DeleteBeautiful pics
ReplyDeleteThanks Rupam! Have a happy day!
DeleteI find it so hard to see lantana in gardens in USA. It is a noxious weed here in Oz because it takes over the natural flora in our forests and National Parks. It grows huge and fast. We are not allowed to grow it in our gardens.
ReplyDeleteThat huge tree in your yard would make a great Christmas tree.
The lantana here is only an annual, I wish it was a perennial. Thanks for the comment, enjoy your day!
DeleteGood Morning Eileen. That is a lovely woodpecker and a smart looking bird to have on your feeders. I hope you are staying safe from all that bad weather I am reading about.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! We are expecting a little rain from the storm. Enjoy your day!
DeleteCéus, flores, animais e aves ...Sempre a natureza aqui tão bem mostrada! Adorei! beijos,tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeleteThanks Chica! Enjoy your day!
DeleteBelas fotografias minha amiga, gostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

DeleteOur neighbor has a few if those very tall trees in their back yard. He is in the process of cutting them down. I don’t think the trees are very healthy in our neighborhood. Another neighbor a year or two ago cut down a dozen of them. Great picture of the woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! We had to have a tall pine next to the house removed, it was too close. On a windy day the branches were hanging on the roof making all kinds of noises.
Delete...nice moose sighting.
ReplyDeleteI love moose, thanks Tom!
DeleteThat tall pine would never stand up to our humidity...it's lovely! Great Lady Bird Johnson quote. (One of my favorite 1st Ladies!)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great quote, thanks Anni! Enjoy your day!
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the still-blooming flowers. We must remember to enjoy them while we still can! And, loved the quote "Where flowers bloom, so does hope."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and visit!
DeleteIt usually takes a cold snap to bring out the color in the leaves. Something we haven't had with 80 degrees temps in October.
ReplyDeleteGlad the woodpecker found the suet. I put some out this week but nobody yet. At least when I was looking. Happy Day.
Thanks Gayle! Enjoy your day!
DeleteNice to see blooms as I sit here watching the drenching rain from Hurricane Micheal..Hopefully he will move quicker than Florence did!
ReplyDeleteAlso nice to see blue sky we haven't had it for a while!
Thanks Sondra! Stay safe!
DeleteYes indeed! A thankful heart is a happy heart!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, and great photo of the woodpecker.
Have a blessed day!
Thanks Lea! Enjoy your day!
DeleteMichael skimmed past us quickly...so we will have some blue sky today.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteYes, I spotted the little frog. : )
I am happy to still see colors from summer flowers too. The woodpecker's are always a delight to see.
ReplyDeleteYour Lantana surely did well. I enjoyed your photos. Much to be thankful for!
ReplyDeletei love that latana it is only an annual here. I had a huge bush when I lived in the west.
ReplyDeleteThe woodpecker is quite pretty.

ReplyDeleteYes I saw your little froggy! I hope you are having a great week.
ReplyDeleteVery dear, thanks, E!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos, I enjoyed them all. Your Red-bellied Woodpecker shot was my favorite and I also loved the frog, turtle and moose yard ornaments but all the flowers were beautiful. Enjoy the week what's left of it and have a great weekend :)

Lantana?....waw….So beautiful.

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI read here that you have a lot of flowers in bloom and that is always happy to see :-)
I really like your woodpecker. I love sppe rights and we do not have these woodpeckers in the Netherlands. The colors of the flowers are amazing.
I also wish you a very nice weekend.
Greetings, Helma
Wonderful capture of the red-bellied woodpecker! We have a lot of lantana around our yard. I like the look of it, but have to be careful when I trim it. I must be allergic to it because I get red and itchy if it touches my skin, almost like poison oak! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love that woodpecker - so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bloom
ReplyDeleteI love your pond!!!
ReplyDeletegreat choices for you, and awesome choices for the birds. your flowers are still so beautiful. that's a great capture of the red bellied!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, and having several days of dreary, misty days, I am looking forward to some blue skies.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see those colors still in mid October . . .
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for you keeping me in birds, flowers, blue sky ...
Bull Frogs too!
I do like your pond!
ReplyDeleteGood to see a lovely woodpecker …
All the best Jan
