 It's Friday, TGIF and the last Friday of 2023.  Today's image is one that I captured of a Goldfinch siting in a Bradford Pear tree with some lovely bokeh behind created by the autumn color leaves.  Sharing today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

We are still experiencing summer temps, makes me worried about what July will be like.  I captured this image on a cool spring day in Missouri.  A male Goldfinch in an Ornamental Pear tree just starting to get his bright colors back after the dull ones they have for winter.

We are heading back into winter so I thought this image was appropriate.  I captured this in December at the in-laws home during a snowfall.  A few Bluebirds and a couple Finches enjoying a drink.  I liked the Bluebird flying in on the left.

So, some surprise rains yesterday when we really didn't need them.  Weird.  We wish for rain and then get too much.  :-)  My image today is one I captured very late January of this year of a Goldfinch taking off from a branch of the Birch Tree.  I named this one Lift Off. 😄  Because of the warm winter this Finch already was getting back some of it's bright gold color.  I was pleased to capture this unusual pose in focus as well.

This is an older image today because it fit in well for Bird Poker on Google +.  I captured this Goldfinch in my in-law's Ornamental Pear tree.  I thought it was looking rather frazzled due to the fact that it's bright yellow feathers were coming in.

Happy Spring!  We finally made it officially!  Today is supposed to be nice and warm as well so it's definitely Spring like.  My image for today is of a Goldfinch looking quite cute and like it's saying hello that I captured yesterday.  It appears to be a male that is changing back into his bright yellow colors now that Spring is here.

There was no school today due to it being quite bitterly cold.  I had to work though.  Ah well.  Got some things done while it was quiet.  This is a very cold Goldfinch that was taken when I thought 20 F was cold.  It only made it to a high of about 12 today.  Yuck.  I am so done with winter.  Come on spring!
