Today’s picture was taken in a sunlit moment near the end of the afternoon I was hoping to get a shot of the goldfinch but, once again, he did his best to frustrate me. The morning and early afternoon were grey and wet so that is when he came. He perched behind the feeder againContinue reading “That elusive goldfinch”
