Autumn Dusk

Lady Cardinal enjoying my feast!
Lord Cardinal perched upon my arbor of snake beans!Now perched above the herbs, Pomegranate, Curry leaves, Tangerine and Jasmin growths.
Mrs. Robins and Mr. Robins ordering dinner!
Well dressed and looking very elite!
I am not sure who is who... But the squirrel pair is enjoying their acorn & nuts hunt!!!
I bet this one looks just like the Nachos eating one (posted: Summer 2008) from Canada!!!


There were pigeons, sterlings and so many others hiding in the trees sending out calls; it was a lovely autumn dusk!!!

Good Tidings!

Who said Butterfly Bush is for butterflies only? I see pretty Moths, Bees, Bumble Bees, Ladybugs and of course... Hummingbirds hovering over the honey dripping scented flowers.


Do you see me? Hmm... I love sunflowers; the seeds are delicious. Even Hawks can't spot me while I am feeding on sunflowers---God knew what He was doing when painting my feathers yellow and black. But this butterfly bush is too good to pass by... so, perched I am---a goldfinch---bringing "Good Tidings."

The other reason why I stopped by... was that I heard a Parakeets--chirping-- party going on, and I thought I spotted at least two of them who could be my relatives!!! If you don't believe me, check the Sept.7th posting and let me know!
