Goldfinch Sock

Today is short but sweet . I wanted to show this picture of the the beautiful bright yellow mostly male Goldfinch that visited the yard today.  Kelly wanted to try this sock feeder out, and so far they seem to love it. This picture is a bit on the blurry side, but that is the joys of photography. I also take a lot of these out of a glass window, and in this shot it shows. Practice Practice!!

Mr. Goldfinch and my Shepard Hook

I took a few shots of several Goldfinch that visited me at my front Kitchen Window Hummingbird Feeder ook today. They are attracted to the new Shepard's hook. I was able to snap a few awesome shots that I wanted to share. This curious little fellow was peekin' into my kitchen window at me, as I clicked away with my camera.

I love these pictures! I happen to get lucky with the right settings that day for my Canon 60D.

It's as if the cute little Goldfinch posed for me and the camera. Talk about a ham lol. I love the way his feathers are blowing up in the wind. Sometimes this camera makes me look like a professional photographer (note the word SOMETIMES).

These were all taken through my kitchen glass window, so I'm very pleased with how they came out.
