It was a little jarring this morning to edit a few photos for this post and realize I had to open a new blog photo folder titled, October. I love October. I can’t say it is my favorite month, because truth be told, I can’t choose. I can’t even choose a favorite time of year, because I love each season for different reasons. But, with some of the leaves off the trees, the back yard near the bird feeders is opening up so I can get some shots of birds again.
A little drink to go with your seeds?
Tufted Titmouse. Who named this bird?
The birdbath is a popular destination.
Another reason I love October – Japanese Anemones. This one is actually called “September Charm”. I love everything about it – the pink doesn’t clash with the rest of the colors in this bed, because most everything else is done blooming by now. I love the multi-shade backs of the blooms and the little tennis ball centers and the ruffly little stamens. They’ll even take a frost or two and keep on blooming.
That shot of the mourning dove looks fake! Are you enjoying the traveling camera?
Lovely pictures.
Beautiful Photos!
I love the anemones (always fun to say). October is definitely my favorite month. I think I have a birthday stashed away in there somewhere. :)
those flowers are just beautiful!
love the birds too! it sure s hard to believe it is October already !
Gorgeous!
Yes, I am glad you have your camera back because these shots are fabulous! And I want to know, why a titmouse?
A beautiful start to my Wednesday.
Gorgeous photos, as always. I just wish I knew what happened to the summer.
Are these old photos or did you get your camera back? They’re amazing!

Wow that dove is so pretty….and the Anemone, perfection.
Well october is my FAVORITE month, the pics are beautiful.
Oh, I gasped when I just arrived! Aren’t you so happy your camera has returned safe and sound to its momma? I know we are.
The pictures here are lovely. I love the first one with the chicadee and the almost-ethereal look of the water. And the flowers? Oh, my. They make me happy.
Please note: I have NOT been drinking. It’s mid-week, for gosh sakes.
I love the birds, all the shots of the birds. The two little ones are so sweet.
You have taken some amazing shots! Just beautiful!
I am grinning from ear to ear right now. I love the name “Tufted Titmouse,” too. And they are such sweet birds — a little shy. I like that in a bird. Love your Japanese Anemones — beautiful!
I love that sweet dove just sitting there…
Oh yes, I agree w/ you … Japanese Anemone are beautiful flowers! I love your photo of them … the softness of the background is wonderful.
Beautiful shots! My nine year old is a bird lover and is forever trying to capture them with the camera at her bird feeder.
Your photos are wonderful. I love them.
Love all your birds and I quite agree with you on the beauty f the Autumn Anemone.
Great bird photos…
I guess I just don’t have enough patience for bird photography — you’ve done a great job with these…
