I was thrilled to see these beautiful birds at the feeder the last few days, there is a pair of them. This one landed in the tree at the corner of the house, that was really a long reach as I was on the other side of the house by the garage when I took this.

Thank you for your comments.

Pretty contrast against the flowers, Sandi. If Tick were around, he'd make a baseball comment.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
