After the screen is gone....

I want to remind you that all of these can be enlarged by clicking on them.

I did take the shot above yesterday evening....but the rest of these are from today.
I cannot help but show a couple more of the goldfinches....this one above is no more than a yard away from me....just right outside my window.
Can you spot the one above...it blends right in...
This cardinal is looking rough....there is one that comes occasionally that is beautiful, but I never seem to be there when he is.

Old Blue was there several times today, but he moves around a lot...he is very hard to capture.

I so wish I had taken this screen out a long time ago...well, maybe not. I just want to sit there with camera near at hand.

Goldfinches

This afternoon, I came in here to see if I had any email...and there not over two feet from my computer were these goldfinches...and wonder of wonder they were so engrossed in what they were doing that I sat here and took at least a couple dozen photos...none of which were that good.
I have thought about taking a screen out this window forever but had never done it. After I saw the shots I took that should have had some wonderful captures, I had Roger take it out for me. It is normally a job I could have did by myself, but still not quite capable with my shoulder.
I had to use Photoshop Elements to get these to look even as good as they do. After we took the screen out, they did not come again....but tomorrow is another day.

The view from Merom Bluff...

Yesterday we stopped at Merom Bluff to see what the Wabash River looked like from up there...as you can see it is full to the brim.
I spotted these two flowers while up there...and I don't know the name of either. I have seen the one below before but don't remember seeing the one above. With my memory, that is not saying much...I could have seen it and forgotten it.
If you know their name, feel free to chime in....I have did a little searching but no luck so far. Whatever they are, I think they are beautiful, specially the blue/purple one.
