Goldfinch and Berries: for Skywatch Friday
The intense blue sky and the strong, morning light highlighted the yellow of the Goldfinch and the ripe reds of the berries of the Mountain Ash tree in our garden; a reminder that it is now autumn. A blur in the background, our white Tree Swallow house, is a reminder of summer past.

My appreciative thanks to Tom, Sandy, Imax and Klaus for hosting Sky Watch Friday .

I love the colors in this - the red and gold are true to autumn, and yet cheerful and upbeat still.
Very nice, particularly the first one. Nice red against the blue.
I love them. I mean, the top one with the goldfinch is absolutely fabulous. Red berries, yellow goldfinch, blue sky. What could be more basic?
Really beautiful...the blue is like the background to an inlaid enamel design of birds and berries...and jewel-like!
Oh wow! The bird is so cute. Love it a lot!
Fantastic colors, thanks for sharing
Cheers

Great photos. The little bird looks so at peace among all those berries.
I love the color in both these photos. The light blue sky makes such a great background to the yellow bird and the the bright red berries. Very pretty!
A lovely combination of colours, the yellow and red against the clear blue sky.
So lovely - the red of the berries, the yellow of the finch, and the blue sky - gorgeous!
The red and blue combination is very striking.
Excellent shots! Composition and color! Well done.
Nice catch..... Great job! Reminds me the saying,,,, We never know how high we are, till we are called to rise and then, if we are true to plan our statures touch the sky... Happy Skywatch! Hope you can visit my SWF entry too...
I like very much the colours and the peaceful feeling in both photos. But the first one is in one word ADORABLE!
