One of the nicest memories from our trip to Reynolda Gardens, apart from being among all the flowers and the butterflies, which will be in tomorrow's post, was the sight of these pretty American Goldfinches enjoying the sunflowers.
Gregg took all of what you see today. He didn't have long as they were soon off into the trees, but he was able to get several photos in a short space of time.

There are two Goldfinches in the photo below...
and there were several in the garden. They really loved those sunflowers.
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.
The combination of the goldfinches and sunflowers is truly stunning!! And both things make me happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny, they make me happy too :)
DeleteOh how beautiful. Thank you and Gregg for sharing the joy.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome and I will pass that on to Gregg :)
DeleteOur goldfinches are not a bit like yours but I love them both because they are both so beautiful. Two visit my garden every morning, looking for food.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how different they are? As you say, both very pretty birds :)
DeleteHello, I love the cute goldfinches and the pretty sunflowers! Lovely photos! Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen and the same to you :)
DeleteGoldfinches are very attractive. They are going through here now on their way south.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are Red, I don't get to see them too often though I know they are around. I had a few out back here no doubt heading south.
DeleteBeautiful birds. I'd be snapping lots of photos of those beauties.
ReplyDeleteYes, we were very snap-happy when they were around :)
DeleteJoyful shots. Thanks for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, you are very welcome and thank you :)

ReplyDeleteHi Jean, thank you. I will pass that on to the photographer. Gregg enjoyed taking these.

DeleteThat's a very nice Denise logo, and wonderful post today. Thank you Greg. I so enjoyed the gold finches during my time in California
ReplyDeleteThank you Cloudia, I had fun putting it together. I will thank Gregg. The one thing I remember about our last trip to California were the humming birds. A sweet memory as your Goldfinches must be to you :)
DeleteGreat photos, they flit about so quickly I usually just catch a glimpse!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine, they certainly do flit about. We felt blessed.
DeleteTerrific! One of my favorite birds!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anni :)
DeleteHow beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you GG-Grandma :)
DeleteI love these little birds! I didn't plant sunflowers again this year, and I so miss having them till I can watch the goldfinches.
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I have never planted sunflowers though I always love seeing them when we are out and about :)
DeleteJust a fabulous garden altogether. They really are pretty and sweet birds... I used to see them when we lived at the Lake, but haven’t got a good sighting since then.
ReplyDeleteHello Sallie, they ceretainly are and the garden was wonderful!
