This goldfinch is cropped so tightly that the shot is not good for much besides web viewing. But since I can't convince the birds to let me walk up and shake their hands, this is the best I can do :) As it is, I was amazed that this one let me approach so closely. I guess he was really determined to get the seeds from his plant.
And finally, one more leaf filter to round out the trip. This is an extra-munchy sycamore leaf, found down by the creek.

Thanks for taking me on your walk. Beautiful pictures. I didn't know the chicory was a blue flower.
The leaf filter pictures have been fabulous. I don't think that my little Sony Cybershot can do that though I just might try.
£ fantastic shots Ash, each one a gem in its own right... I am having the same trouble with the birds, I think I'm going to be able to get closer then off they fly. I'm thinking of seting up a little hide in the woods and start leaving food about.. maybe in a few weeks I might be able to wrap up warm, take my flask and stake the place out.
ASH, once again your macro superflower power amazes me. Freaking awesome!
Lovely shots! I fully agree with you about the birds. I had a terrible time shooting them with the S-2. You have to invade their comfort zone and they have wings, a difficult situation indeed! Some of the best shot I got were through our kitchen window.
Lovely photos! And that goldfinch is sweet! I've been having a dickens of a time trying to photograph the sandpipers and other shorebirds which are now on our beaches (sans sunbathers and boaters)!
Great stuff, Amy.
Wonderful shots! I feel like I was on the walk with you. The chicory is also one of my favorite wildflowers.
I have to learn some photography skill from you.
Ash, enjoyed the walk with you, as always, your shots are just great.
Leaf filter is magnifico(Im yet to try this).Yep you right about birds, its trial and error init, haha. I think you did extremly well there.What can I say bout your blue photo, It certainly didnt leave my feeling blue (haha)sorrylol, It was another magnifico shot.Well done.
This leaf is marvelous. I like to find such leaves and consider how very delicate they are and how much they endure in a few short seasons. Thanks for this close-up.
Chickory has a beautiful shade of lavender. I like the goldfinch; how charming he looks! You did a great job on the leaf filter.
