Golden Beauty

Honestly I am not sure what this golden wonder is. Sometimes during breeding season there are huge changes in coloration with birds of all kinds.

I am a retired commercial photographer who still finds interesting camera subject matter. I participate in two different websites that relate to my work and love of photography. My nature and wildlife images are displayed at http://carneypictures.com. You will find many birds and interesting location shots made as I travel around the USA. My other website is shared with my partners in the digital photo printing business that we are about to open. It will be an all online, low overhead (cheap prices), high quality photo lab. http://atlcanvas.com is the link to find it. Many of you who know me realize I am in my 70s and have done photo related business for over 40 years now. My young partners are Nick and Katie Daniels. Katie is such a talented photographer and has shown me some really inspiring creativity! If you need children pictures she will amaze you with her images. Her website is http://danielsdenphotography.com ! Take a look and see if it will serve your needs with children photos and long term memories...

If the Patch folks like my blog I suppose I will post some of my blogs about birding and photo related subjects here and look forward to sharing my thoughts and pictures with you.

But for now since I started this to share bird pictures with you this is a beautiful bird that is either a finch or a warbler and was sure enjoying the suet on my back deck the other morning. If the squirrels will allow the birds to get a bite once in awhile, the suet really draws birds in to the feeder area. Many birders make their own suet and take a lot of pride in doing so. I just go by the "Wal" and pick up a few blocks each week. Judging by the number of birds there, my back deck is the hit of the bird neighborhood!
