Favorite Photos of the week — so far!

Posted on by

Red has been hanging out on a consistent basis with Mrs. That’s a relief after he left our yard for the better part of a week. I’m still looking for little Reds, but so far we haven’t spotted any. I sit outside in the early morning cool weather and I think he likes to see me outside. I spent two full weeks without being able to venture outside. That’s when Red disappeared. My husband jumps in the pool in the evenings and said Red flys into a tree overhead and watches and sings.

I’m waiting for the day I get cleared to get in the pool!

Red is my favorite model to photograph, so I’m glad he’s back hanging out in our yard!

This photo of Red and a sparrow make me think of Bonnie Raitt’s song “Something to Talk About.”

Then there’s Mrs. full of spunk.

Here’s Red across the yard on the yellow planter.

This photo surprised me because I noticed the quail but not the lizard when I took it.

Here’s Bonnie Raitt’s song “Something to Talk About.” I’m laughing to myself remembering when she won her 2023 Grammy for “Just Like That” and a headline read: “Shock as Unknown Blues Singer Wins Song of the Year!”

No words!

What photos do you like best and why?

      • Early morning and late afternoon are best times for photo light. Especially as the birds are out and about too

      • So true! I like the morning light because our yard gets too much shade in the afternoon. When I am more mobile post surgery, I’ll be able to take my camera outside and walk around with it and look at afternoon light.

  4. Unknown blues singer? WHAT??
    I love Bonnie Rait; she’s a classic!
    That pic of the lizard and the quail is so darn cute.

    • I wonder how old that reporter was to write that and had never heard of Bonnie Raitt before? My goodness! Why didn’t the editor or someone in charge catch that? I loved the lizard and quail pic, too.

  6. So that really is a lizard on the branch? At first glance that’s exactly what I thought but then I looked again and wondered if it was just tree bark sticking up! Red and the sparrow seem about ready to launch into warfare over that seed cake. I think they’re cussing at each other 🙂

    • I thought it was a bit of bark when I took the photos. Then looking at them on my computer, I could see it was a lizard! What a surprise. I think you are right that the sparrow was cussing out Red.

    • I was wanting to add that Bonnie Raitt song to my instagram post, but couldn’t figure out how to do it. It was in my head when I wrote this yesterday. I wonder what the lizard was doing up in the tree?

    • Thanks! She has been showing a lot of personality lately. I got one photo of her fighting with a dove over the bird seed, but the dove is a blur so I didn’t post it.
