Gold Finch Day

Today I was out weeding all the flower beds and watering them when I noticed the blooms on the Cosmos flowers wildly swaying, so I took a closer look and noticed a flash of bright yellow and upon a closer look, saw it was some Gold Finches feeding on the seeds of the Cosmos flowers.

I dropped the watering hose and wand and went in the house to get my camera to record some of these wonderful birds...here is the results of that venture.

Please click on the photographs to enlarge and see all the beauty of a Gold Finch.

Isn't he just adorable?



I think he liked being photographed

Is This My Good Side?

While photographing the Gold finches, I noticed a Lizard clinging to the side of the Log Cabin...so I took a couple close up photo's of him as well.

Isn't He Just Handsome?


Just another shot for good measure

Look up in the sky.....it's a Ghost Cloud

Does this look like a Dolphin to you?

You may be wondering why I haven't posted in sometime now....well, just the short version of the whole episode, I have been in the Hospital again and this time it was quite a trip spending a whole week in there while the world outside went on without me and I sure did miss posting and was very glad after the Doctors released me after a week in there.I again escaped the Knife(keep your fingers crossed) for yet another time and am mending fairly well from a case of Ischemic Colitis.....which was treated with No Food, No water and massive doses of Antibiotics and bags and bags of IV stuff for four days, then they allowed me to have some liquid for a day and a half and finally, on the Fifth Day after noon allowed me semi solid food for dinner and ordered up solid food for the Sixth day...my body accepted the solid foods and so they think their process worked and I am now back home,weak,wobbly legged,woozy,and going to try to get out again tomorrow and do some work again.

I am still making more Native Flutes and have another one that was about 3/4 completed before I went into the IV Tower as I call it....lol....and plan to work on it till completed and will then post a photo of it.
