Some Birds on the Way to Lowes!!


The sun came out finally---for a few days anyways I had to make a trip to Lowes to get stuff for more projects.....but all this work is getting to me...so I stopped at a park to see what birds were hanging around...This Downy Woodpecker afforded me a good look.  





 Next up was this portly American Robin!



this Red Bellied Woodpecker was really upside down...notice the red belly!




and I didnt know Goldfinch loved to eat the seed in these sycamore  balls they were all over these trees...

they dangled,




napped...




snacked...




and contemplated the next move!




 jumping from one ball to the next!


Back home I thought this was rather humorous, a different SPIN on things...



and then this afternoon we had a lovely sunset!! 



the best way to end a peaceful day!!


PEACE

      TRUE...I get bogged down and start to feel disconnected if I go too long without a trek into nature!

    Hey Sondra... Good to see what's going on in your neck of the woods. I enjoyed your photo's , and yes Goldfinches even eat seeds out of the pods from lilac blossom in the winter. There into mine all the time!

    So happy you stopped to see the birdies! Spring must be on the way! I've seen those seed balls on trees and now I know that they are Sycamores. Learned something new today, yay! Thank you.
