In the backyard today

in #esteem6 years ago

A few random photos from the backyard...just wandering around appreciating summer.

I will miss the Baltimore Orioles when they migrate south in a few weeks.

Most of the summer flowers are fading.

And there are even a few warning signs that autumn is on it's way.

Circle

Harry Chapin

All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime, till the daybreak comes around
All my life's a circle but I can't tell you why
The season's spinnin' round again the years keep rollin' by

I miss the change of seasons...at least in fall. Not so much in winter haha. I also enjoy seeing the birds I remember from the mid-West that we don't have out here. Nice post @melinda010100

I do love the birds we get here. But then you get some good ones there, too!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

I love the photo of the Baltimore Oriole! They are a beautiful bird and that's a terrific photo you got! Your bee balm is looking like mine but I did dry some of the petals, they have a very nice flavor. Great post and photos @melinda010100!! ❤

Thanks, luv! Those female Orioles aren't as showy as the males, and I realized I take far more pictures of the males. I've been trying to not be so sexist!😃

You're very welcome! Lol!! :)

Incredible capture of the bird. You did really great. Greetings my dear friend :)

Thanks! I was near the feeder that she wanted to come to, so she was patiently waiting for me to get out of her way!

Looks like it is starting to turn Fall over there! I'm still trying enjoy the last moments of summer while I can. Today was a hot one.

It has been a hot summer for Wisconsin, too. I'm sure we have plenty of summer left, it's just that if you look closely there are unmistakable signs! But I like the changing seasons.

Today got a nice "cooler" feeling to it which I hope to use to get some stuff done outside.

I wish we had a more dramatic changing of the seasons down here. It's more or less the grass is either green or brown lol.

Low 80s here today and low 60s tonight. Perfect sleeping temps! Hope you got the things done that you wanted!

Always is a pleasure see this beautiful pictures💕 have a good night dear Melinda😊

Very beautiful post, I was very amazed to see it, amazing @ melinda010100.

Autumn is knocking on your door too as I can see. I love autumn, leaves can be wonderful but it's too soon! Nice photos by the way ♥️

I really like the photo of the bird, if I may, I know what bird it is

The bird is a female Baltimore Oriole. This is the male. image

almost similar to finches if at my place, only different colors

This bird may be bigger than a finch. It is a type of blackbird.

the cheek bird is here a lot, only he can be a pest if in the rice harvest season

howdy there melinda010100! wow now these here are some gorgeous photos! the Oriole is fantastic and the leaves on that weathered wood with the wasp there, super cool.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I do have fun taking pictures, but I make no claim to being a photographer! Hope you are having a good weekend!

yes Ma'am I'm doing great and thank you for the fine photos, I think you're a lot better photographer than you think!

That's so sweet of you to say! My technical skills are lacking, but I've often been told I have a good eye. I'll take that!

ok well how about you have a good eye and the camera takes great shots that you choose?

Haha! I'll take any compliments you would like to send my way! I've had a bit of a rough week, and will be happy to see a new one begin.

yes Ma'am I understand. well next week will surely be better. any animals to babysit ?

Very beautiful captures dear 😊 that bird is so cute and beautiful.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it...but please do not make requests for me to visit your blog. That is simply annoying.

No worries! I'm glad that wasn't your intention. I am always reminded to visit your page whenever I read a comment from you.

So sweet of you dear 😊 really thank you so much. Now I feel so relaxed. I have edited my comment 😊 thanks again

Although it is still very hot, autumn signs can be seen. You have exemplified this with some beautiful photos. I think your backyard is wonderful.
