Lots of Yellow

Thank you to everyone for all the kind comments on my sister's dahlia ribbons.

She spends hundreds of hours during the year planning, planting, and caring for her dahlias.

I was running low on DMC, WDW and Crescent Colors so I placed an order and also purchased the fabric I need to complete The Little Stitcher's bird calendar series.

While there's not much yellow in my stitching purchases, there certainly is in the natural world.

"Golden Celebration" peeking out the deer fence - I hope the deer don't munch it!

And here's an adorable Orange-crowned Warbler.

 Up high an American Goldfinch with the Orange-crowned Warbler below. See all the 'extra' yellow in the wings and tail feathers of the warbler?

And the Yellow-breasted Chat came back!

What an awesome bird.

Click on this photo to enlarge it - the yellow breast feathers fluff out over the gray and white ones.  

Front on.

I've had several sightings of a female Western Tanager.

My time is limited as these birds have begun to migrate.

So I tend to go camera crazy when I see one.

"What ya' looking at?"

"Are the hummingbirds pestering you?"

I think of these birds as "Good-bye to Summer" birds.
