Bro John and Lynne have some bird feeders behind their house which can be seen from the kitchen and screened portion of the deck. Goldfinches were regular visitors. The would fly down from the trees and perch; looking all around before eating. Then they would disappear in a flash of yellow back into the trees. (These two images were taken through the screen, giving the soft focus effect.)
I took these two sitting on the steps outsid the screened portion of the deck. This goldfinch was in his tree, about 30 feet away and 20 feet up. This gray bird sometimes joined the gold finches. (All images were cropped.)

I began this blog in 2008 after I retired. My main interest is photography and so most posts will contain photos, along with brief comments or explanations. I participate in several weekly blogs and occasionally post my own recurring themes. Occasionally I throw in comments, kudos or complaints about the world situation.

I am retired, married to a smart, talented lady who once thought we computer people were geeks and now is one of us geeks. I have a long time interest in photography. We live in Maryland, about 50 miles from Washington, DC.
My main camera is a Nikon D3100 with two zoom lenses (18-55 and 55-200).

Beautiful shots.I'm a bit jealous as I only on the rarest occasions have either bird here.
Great bird shots, Lew. That last little one looks like a female Cardina1, though I would have expected her to be more brown.
Oh, I love your bird shots, Lew! They are so beautiful and colorful!
Terrific!
Have a lovely weekend!
What beautiful yellow birds. You captured their color perfectly.

Have a great weekend! Tweet, tweet.
Lew, you did well here my friend, love them all.
