Delicious Autumn!

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
- George Eliot (interestingly, the pen name of Victorian writer Mary Ann Evans)

I like viewing this image best on the black background.

Cute capture.

[Janet B.]

[Jane Anderson]

Another wonderful matching of quote to image, Janet!

[Janet B.]

@cejaanderson Thanks, Jane! I hung my pumpkin birdfeeder; and the sweet, little Chickadees were the first to visit. It was pouring down rain, but they didn't care a bit!

[Milanie]

Wonderful colors together - I've often had the same thoughts as your quote - wouldn't it be wonderful to just be able to pick up and enjoy your favorite season in all different countries? Beautiful shot as always.

[Janet B.]

@milaniet Thank you so much! Yes, it sure would be nice if we could do that!

[Taffy]

The black makes the bird pop well -- a wonderful image for the fall season.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Adore the expression on the little chickadee's face. There's a dozen things he could be thinking! Such a neat feeder you've got, perfect for the autumn season.

[Janet B.]

@taffy Thank you so much! The activity at the feeders really picks up when it starts getting chilly, and I love watching the birds. :-)

[Janet B.]

@lyndemc I thought the same thing about the Chickadee's expression! Perhaps he was thinking that the rain should stop. I know I was. :-) Thank you for commenting!

[lisa]

great capture. so agree with the quote!

[Molly]

A lovely sharp shot, with great colours.

[Janet B.]

[Janet B.]

@dolphin Thanks so much, Molly! :-)

[john graham]

beautiful shot Janet..and a perfect quote to go with it...

[Janet B.]

@tellefella Thank you kindly, John! :-)

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I agree with Taffy- the black makes the chickadee really pop! What a perfect fall image!

[Janet B.]

@kchuk Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my Chickadee! :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love Chickadees- they are so chipper! A little one and I almost had a major collision today!

[Janet B.]

@olivetreeann Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you said "almost" in regard to the collision!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@janetb It was so funny- I'd just stepped out the back door to put something in the recycle and "he" came swooping across the deck towards the bird bath. I let out a yelp (thought it was a hawk at first he was that fast) and the chickadee scolded me from the deck railing. It was so funny!

[Janet B.]

@olivetreeann Hahaha! They certainly do zip here and there quickly! :-)
