Happy Monday,
September has flown by for me, it's been busy with lots happening. Our son's wedding is this weekend. We are looking forward to the wedding and welcoming a daughter into our family. I wish them much happiness.
Some images from around my yard, we still have some flowers blooming like the Morning Glories, Lantana and the Upright Fuchsia.
I am guessing at this id, a female Black-throated Blue Warbler. She has been hanging around feasting on the berries. Sometimes I see her on my deck railing enjoying some of the peanut suet balls.
The male House Finch has been a visitor in the yard recently.
As of 9/26 I am still seeing the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in my yard.
Our walks have been on the local bike trail, below are some scenes from our last walk.
Me and my shadow at the bike trail.
Some days we can walk on our local fire road trails, our weather is still summer like. Warm days and no rain.
I am not sure what these berries are called, the red stems are pretty.
I always enjoy this local trail, we are lucky this is in our neighborhood and there are no hunter's trucks parked nearby.
Please check out and visit the following memes and links. I hope to see you there.

Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos! The berries was very pretty, but I don't know them either. I envy you the hummingbirds. They are very cute.
Happy new week!
I haven't seen a hummingbird here for over a week now, so other than for an odd straggler, perhaps, I suspect they have departed. Maybe one of the birds from my backyard stopped off in Maryland to see you!
Lovely photos, and the trail looks inviting for a walk.
Tão lindas e delicadas e adoro ver a sombra de vocês! beijos, ótima semana,chica
I forgot to mention too that the ID of the female Black-throated Blue Warbler is correct.
Belas fotografias minha amiga e aproveito para desejar uma boa semana.

...the natural world at its finest!
Hummingbirds always seem so exotic to me - pretty little birds! Congratulation to you all on your son's wedding at the weekend, I hope you all have a wonderful wedding celebration.

that trail at the end is calling out to me. and my favorite are the white fluffy balls next to your waving at us in the collage... goregeous flowers and photos... that humming bird is so sweet
Congratulations! I think I know how you’re happy and restless. Wish your son a happy wedding and prosperous married life. The nature and wild life around you is so rich and the walk trail looks so inviting.

So many beautiful things to see in nature! Love your pretty birds and the berries. I'm happy for your son and for your whole family! Congrats to the sweet couple!
Mosaic magic, lots and lots. And, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, beauty. Thanks Eileen.
Those wee birds are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and I do so enjoy visiting you here! Have a grand week!
Beautiful photos and collages Eileen.
I really love the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
Best regards, Irma
Lovely shots.
I wish I could draw house finches to my feeding stations. They'd rather hang out at the gas station, though. Sigh.
You have some wonderful captures here.
lovely photos, what a beautiful humming bird!
Good morning Eileen, wonderful news for your new family member this weekend, weddings especially family weddings are just wonderful! As are to mention your photos here too. You have a gift with your camera always!
Congrats on your son's wedding. A festive time. So nice to have a trail close by. very pretty

Happy wedding to your son! The berries look delicious.
So beautiful and green nature views. I wish much happiness to the bridal pair! It's going to be an exciting weekend for you!
The Hummingbirds are such a treat to see...
All the best to the young couple!
Have a nice and smooth preparatory week!
A nice place you for walking!
Always enjoy your beautiful photos.
Have a wonderful time at the wedding. Wishing the happy couple much happiness and contentment.
I hope you have nice weather for the wedding, Eileen. I have been seeing very few birds mostly just sparrows and a couple of Goldfinches. It is very unusual and worrisome!
Congratulations on your son's wedding! Hope all goes off as planned and sending wishes for a wonderful life together. Lovely photos today Eileen. Have a great week!
What a beautiful area. Lots of interesting things to enjoy on that trail.
Wonderful trails for you to enjoy. Hope the wedding is a wonderful event from beginning to end. Best wishes for the couple and congratulations on gaining a daughter.
Such a wonderful trail! Isn’t it amazing there is always something different to see?
have a wonderful wedding weekend!!... the berries are beautiful with their red stems, not sure of the name either... maybe elderberries?
A great looking trail for walking and birding! I have yet to see the female Black Throated Blue, but I'be been on the look out that bird that looks almost like a titmouse, but with that little white spot on the wing! So I'd say you got one. Love that fungi/mushroom on the tree...Have a great week Eileen!
Congratulations to your son. What fun to have a wedding, and all those relatives to see and chat with! And now you get to meet a whole new batch of them! When my oldest got married in April, I was disappointed that not many of his new wife's relatives could make it. So my side made up for it!
Beautiful birds!
Some great late summer early fall photos. I am glad that you have some trails that you can walk to.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!
Congratulations on your son's upcoming wedding, Eileen! I enjoyed all your photos, especially the hummingbird. I heard the hummingbirds will be migrating here and we may see many while they move south.
Eileen - congratulations to you, your son and your future daughter-in-law! I pray that all will go smoothly this weekend. I was still seeing a hummingbird last week, but if it was smart it got out of here before the light snowfall we've had over the weekend! I love the collage from your walk, especially the picture with the light shining through the seed heads. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
You're very fortunate to have all this just outside your house.
Beautiful place. Lovely pics.
Have a nice week ahead.
Wonderful shots!
Hi Eileen!
Det är verkligen något att vara tacksam för att få bo så nära naturen i vackra omgivningar. Fina bilder på spännande fåglar, här har vi inte alls den variationsrikedomen, ganska artfattigt när flyttfåglarna drar sig söderut.
aww...you are lucky to have plenty of birds coming to your yard...
I love hummingbirds.....
Have a great day
# I follow you, hope you follow me as well
Oh my goodness, I loved seeing those mushrooms on the tree trunk. We forage when possible. ;)
Have lovely week!
You live in a beautiful area and love all the feathered friends visiting in your world ~ great photos!
Happy Day to You,

Beautiful photos. House finches spend a lot of time in our garden around the bird feeder. The males' colour is quite varied - some more red than others. Have fun at the wedding!
I never see a hummingbird sitting still! I love that you were able to capture one such gem!
A wonderful and beautiful walk among nature.
Wonderful photos, Eileen and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for sharing more of your beautiful area! Wonderful photos of everything. Congratulations on your son's wedding Eileen. A very exciting weekend for you all :)

It most definitely IS a beautiful area to walk. And both there & your back yard are filled with awesome bird life. Many joys & happiness to your son & 'new' daughter. Will you share wedding photos soon?
Pretty flowers!
We still see a few Hummingbirds, though I think they are migrants just stopping by to drink and rest before going on south.
Have a wonderful day!
