  2. Beautiful photo! And your vitamin post was not boring, it actually inspired me to start the b's back up to kick start my brain and nervous system.

  3. What great photos! What kind of bird is that? It's a perfect match for the sunflower.

  4. Hi Ginni,
    That last comment was from me, Aiyana. I was on a wrong Google account.

  5. Thanks everyone!

    Aiyana, That bird is a Goldfinch. It's the state bird of lots of states. They are beautiful and turn a dingy olive green in the winter. But they just glow in the summer!!

    Dirtsister, I'm glad my boring post helped...LOL!

    Rosemary, that's exactly why I leave the volunteers! It seems that they bring more wildlife than what I plant sometimes! :)

  9. Besautiful bird - and a good spot, Ginni.

    Isn't it strange that a goldfinch in the USA is differently coloured to a goldfinch in the UK which has a red patch on its head.
