"Did you hear a "CLICK" ... I bet that old fool is at it again. Him and that picture box. He's gonna give me a heart-attack yet."

(Two Goldfinch looking rather "spiffy" considering it's January and there's a foot of snow on the ground.)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Yeah Gregg ... Goldfinch will stay the winter and this WAS shot through glass ... a pane in the French doors leading to the deck where the feeders are located. Got lucky catching these two looking toward me. :o)

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

So clear and sharp and taken at the right moment and presented with your usual wit! That is not a picture box what you have there, it must be a magic box!

That's a wonderful capture of the birds but the background needs to be more distinct to set the birds off. The detail and color of the birds is spot on. Nice.

I had to stop laughing first before I could comment on this John. The look they both have on their faces is exactly what I could picture them saying to each other LOL. What a sharp and finely tuned photo this is.
