F Words

Foliage, Flowers and Feathers. What did you think the F words were?

You might think these are autumn leaves but they're not. They belong on Frank's Red Maple tree in his back yard. The colours are beautiful, particularly when the sun is shining through them from behind.

Out in the fields, ferns have unfurled to reveal lovely, lacy patterns.

A gull, unsuccessful in catching a fish, pond water still dripping from its beak.

Bleeding hearts. I never tire of seeing Nature's little love flower.

Another red leaf from the Red Maple tree, late in the evening, just before dark.

A mystery bird. This little cutie was sitting on the boulevard just as we were heading out for a walk. I think it's a juvenile but I have no idea which kind of bird it is. Can anyone please help with this?

And speaking of mysteries, I have no idea what kind of flower this is but I liked how it looked in the near-dark.

A beautiful Eastern Kingbird posed perfectly atop a high branch.

The brilliant red feathers of red-winged blackbird as he comes in for a landing.

Thanks for joining me in exploring a few F words. They're be more photos coming up real soon.
