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.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, particularly the first one. Nice red against the blue.
ReplyDeleteI love them. I mean, the top one with the goldfinch is absolutely fabulous. Red berries, yellow goldfinch, blue sky. What could be more basic?
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful...the blue is like the background to an inlaid enamel design of birds and berries...and jewel-like!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! The bird is so cute. Love it a lot!

ReplyDeleteCheers
