Adult male Goldfinch and two youngsters in the process of being fed and being shown how to 'do it' on their own. Bit of noise in the BG, no time to make any adjustments to the camera, still pleased with the shot:-)<br />
<br />
One for the road, these guys will be gone soon<br />

Ok he gets to show off one more, one of his favorites. This is the best time of year for this conifer, it will get more yellow with the green banding as winter progresses. You can see the yellow in the center a bit. Yes it is really this color(s)<br />
<br />
Pinus densiflora 'Oculus-draconis' or Dragon's Eye Pine.<br />

Not the best shot of the day but I have been trying since SPRING to get a something half good of this old girl. She is always tucked back in fairly dark shade and as big as she is still a big crop. So here is the local resident Whistle Pig:-)<br />

Sq fest and best shot of the day is  #57<br />
