big girl pants, fall outfits, feathered friends, Grandpa, leaves, multi coloured trees, purple finches, raking

spent some time watching a family of purple finches as they stocked up on food before their flight to warmer climes… they are not nearly as bright as in the spring and early summer…

purple finches at the front feeder...

that same day I took some pictures of the leaves as the colours change… every day as I drive to and from work I see less leaves on the trees and more on the ground…

trees n their fall colours...

trees in their fall outfits…

also got a shot of a yard down the street that was filled with leaves…

leaves on the ground...

leaves on the ground…

the elm trees haven’t shed yet, but soon when the boys come over they can do some raking and playing… it will remind them of doing that very thing with Grandpa I am sure…

Tweeting…

tonight I walked part way home after getting a much needed haircut…as I walked along the sidewalks in the warm sunshine, I could hear birds chirping and tweeting to one another…  it was lovely to realize how close spring is…

as I was sitting in the hot tub a few minutes ago I was looking at the bird feeder… there were no birds as it was already dark, but there is lots of proof that they have been here… the ground is covered with shells from sunflower seeds…

it reminded me of the amazing sight this summer of the five goldfinch males at the feeder at the same time…

the fifth one was around back...

and also of some of the cool birds we saw in Mexico…

I wonder what feathered friends I will spot at the feeders in the coming weeks…
