Gratitude Monday --Golden Guest

I was busy at the computer yesterday when a flash of bright yellow outside the window caught my eye.
This goldfinch had perched on the cross piece of a pole we have outside and was sunning himself.
He got a bit more lively when I got my camera.


 He looked straight at me as I clicked away.


 He groomed a bit and posed some more and turned around a few times.

He looks quite pensive here.

I'm grateful for the visits from the birds and especially grateful this fellow perched close and posed for me.
The soft focus look is not intentional. I had to shoot through two door windows to not disturb him.

Like many accidents of photography, the soft focus is perfect for His Goldeness.

Leah J. Utas said...

Oh, thank you so much, Mary Anne.

Barb said...

A perfect sunny spot to rest!

Leah J. Utas said...

Barb, I agree.

Reb said...

The soft focus works well for these shots. I like the bokeh you got as well.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks so much, Reb. I never really thought about the blur quality, but it does work in the pics.

the Bag Lady said...

Lucky you, to have been visited by such an accommodating little bird!

messymimi said...

How nice of him to stay a while! Glad you got it.

Redbush said...

What a gorgeous bird! We have evening grosbeaks and finches that frequent our yard lately.

Leah J. Utas said...

Bag Lady, yes, I am.

He was most accommodating, Messymimi.

He was a fine specimen, Redbush. You're lucky. We can't seem to entice the evening grosbeaks here, but we've had female pine grosbeaks.

Crabby McSlacker said...

You shot that through two windows? Amazing!

His perky pose is incredibly cheerful; grateful that you posted it.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Crabby. I didn't dare open anything for fear he'd flee.
It's my pleasure to post.

Hilary said...

Some perfect posing on his part and perfect snapping on yours.

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Hilary.
