Thanks, Cee. I wasn’t sure what I had, but I had more than I expected. Not surprising, most of it is Autumn when we get some serious color, but there was other stuff too 😀
They like to hang out in the big forsythia bush in the backyard. In the winter, with snow on the ground, they are very easy to spot. There just aren’t that many scarlet birds … AND I had a long lens, which is a very big help!
I couldn’t afford a really long lens for my Olympus, so I bought a superzoom camera separately. A lot of the time, the camera costs less than the lens by itself.
Oh Marilyn, you went way overboard with vibrant colors this week. I adore your post. 😀 😀

In the winter I saw them from way too far. – My longest telephoto lens is only 200mm – probably you have a more powerful one…

Thank you Marilyn for the info! Yes, I know, these small cameras with a powerful zoom can be very effective. You did a wonderful job!

I’m hoping we get more than a week of autumn this year! We got less than a week last time. We deserve better!

Thanks. I’m waiting to see some autumn changes soon. By this time in September, we usually see color, but so far, everything is solidly green!

It’s good I did this yesterday. Today I can’t stand upright and keep falling down. I don’t suppose it’s the sinus thing.

Great collection, I had to search for my sun glasses.

I had to go searching too. I tend to not go for the strongest tones, but autumn brings out the really strong colors.
