Walk Around the Block

Sycamore Tree

Some trees still have traces and blasts of color hanging on.  Today, I took a quick stroll trough my neighborhood with my new 70-200 lens.

Another “holdout” with golden leaves only left on the bottom half of the tree.

Just the bottom half!

Also, noticed the moon was out quite early–hand-held.  Lens is too new to let go!!

"Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, you're out too soon, the sun is still in the sky..."

The advantage I am looking forward to with the leaves falling is learning more about which birds are really here!

Some friends I found today…this bird is in the front yard.  Fondly call him, “Walker Bird” because he walks up and down the Pine Tree snacking and searching for food.  Believe he is a woodpecker of some sort–think I will have to get my bird book out.  As always, correct names are more than welcome!!  Gotta love learning…thanks to @BirdGalalcatraz, AKA Jann Dorothy for proper name…Red-Breasted Nuthatch.

Just a quick pose!

Another feathered friend, a White-Crowned Sparrow–now able to be seen, since the leaves are all gone, where he is perched!  Thanks again Jann for ID!!

I can see you--no leaves to hide behind!

And the sun setting in the distance…

Sun going down...

Hope your week is filled with much joy:)
