I am sharing a few photos that I have had in my folder and hopefully there are no repeats. I haven't been to any gardens lately, so I am glad I can share these. Hopefully there are no repeats.
The bridge, the Canada Goose and the reflection of people, was taken at Meadowlark Gardens on our last trip. I love watching the few geese that take up residence. I don't think too many are encouraged but it's very nice to see the few.
The Golden Ragwort is always very pretty. I am not sure what the white blooms in the middle are.
I am thankful that we still have a few trees at home. We hope to replace the ones we had to take down last year. I saw a hawk sitting on a branch a couple of weeks ago in our neighbor's yard, but nothing since. I always keep my camera with the zoom lens on the table next to where I am sitting, just in case. This was the only photo I could get before it flew away seconds later. Unfortunately, its face was obscured. You may remember I stopped filling the bird feeders and the smaller birds have been scarce. The photos of our feathered friends are before I stopped feeding them during the summer months. I find myself eager for the autumn as I miss them.
The Catbird is always a welcome visitor. I cropped the one above and here is a closer look.
The Mourning Doves were enjoying the rain. At least I think they were, they didn't seem to want to seek shelter.
Enjoying a good preening session too, still raining.
This is a female Rose-breasted Grossbeak. I never did see her mate. The first time I have ever seen one in our garden was this year. 
Family stayed overnight recently. We enjoyed catching up as it had been a while and it was a fun visit.
I got these last two from Pinterest.
That's about it. Thank you for your visit. I hope you are staying happy, healthy and I wish you all a great weekend.
