Today, I bring you a different trifecta than the trifecta I usually write about—three more back-yard birds:
I love the gorgeous blue ring around the dove’s eye. If you click on the photo, you’ll see what I mean.
This is a female goldfinch. Her colors are not quite as vibrant as the male, but she’s lovely just the same.
Unlike yesterday’s Blue Jay, this male Cardinal is showing off his crest.
Last night, on Day 8 of my 100-Day-Booze-Free Challenge, I went to a little birthday soiree. I drank Perrier, which my hosts picked up especially for me. They served it in a pretty wine glass with a wedge of lime. While I drank my sparkling water, they were imbibing one of my favorites—gin and tonic. I didn’t feel like I was missing out. Well, okay, a little. But I wasn’t staying long, seeing as I needed to get home and get back to work. Which is something I need to do now. Work. It’s always there. Even on a cozy Sunday. Oh well. It could be worse. I could be working at the office instead of on a sofa under a furry throw, watching the birds in the feeders through the window and tussling with Sadie, who wants to lie across my lap (and the keyboard).

All nice images, but the lighting on the dove steals the show. Beautiful!

Thanks, Gert. I love watching them. Much better than staring at a tv screen.

Me too enjoys the birds at the feeder in between doing work from my home office. Maybe too much. 😉 Your birds are really colourful and beautiful.

Thanks, Bente. Watching the birds (any wildlife, or nature) is so much more enjoyable than doing office work. With all the beauty that surrounds you, I don’t know how you get any office work done! 🙂

Cograts on succeeding for 2 week without the red, especially facing what you’re dealing with. Personally, I couldn’t deal with that shit. 2 weeks is a huge success. Take it a day at a time and hang in there. I can personally guarantee life after alcohol or drugs….and it’s good..

Thanks, Ryeder. I’m not dealing too well with that shit. Probably because I’m not numbing it. It’s good to be awake. Sort of.

That’s where we all make our mistakes…trying to numb it. What we need to do is face it, accept it and move on with our lives. Easier said than done, but doable….
