Love that orange bird (who does not live in my corner of the world). 👍

Thank you! He is a Vermillion Flycatcher 😊 We see one in most parks we visit in our area. I agree, he is quite beautiful!

How lovely to still be enjoying autumn while waiting for spring! And your shots capture the feel and colours of that season so well 🙂 I love the red grasses and that colourful orange/red bird!

Thank you, Sarah! I loved those grasses or whatever they are too! 😊 The red bird is a Vermillion Flycatcher. We see them in the area often. I love him with the green background!

I wish I could say that I’m low-key jealous that you get to go from autumn to spring. But then I remember that most of my images are taken in the winter. 😉 Thank you for sharing these photos. They are all lovely but the fourth and fifth ones are my favorites.

I think we all get used to where we are, and you do take great winter pics! If you are referring to the plant photos (4th and 5th), thank you! (I’m never sure if people count the feature photo). I loved those photos too. I love arsty abstract type photos 😊 Thank you, Nicole!

You are so right. So lucky to be here. A bit on the chilly side today, but we still have sunshine and flowers.
