Tiny Golden Beauty


This wee American Goldfinch spent some time visitng on the porch yesterday afternoon. Just look at that eye....how beautiful is that! The detail of the yellow skin around his eye is amazing. And can you see that he has fluffy yellow eyebrows! Mother nature certainly has an eye for details.

  3. Simply beautiful! I'm thinking you have a much better camera than I do. I'd like to splurge next year, but haven't decided on what yet. LOL!

  4. Wonderful picture. I love the birds that flock to my feeders and my squirrels too. They capture our attention and entertain us with their antics.
