photo101 day sixteen – treasure + close-up. Bird-watching is like a treasure to me. I love watching them and photographing them. Here is a close up photo of a purple finch. Once, purple finches built nests year after year in a tumbleweed that I had hung on my porch. That was delightful to have this family of birds so close by. I have no pictures of them, but many purple finch come now to the feeder in my yard.

So much so that they are amazing. When I was a child, growing up on Banner Mountain, I never saw these colorful little finches.

They are building nests, now. Sparrows in one bird house and bluebirds in the other one. Love watching them! Thanks for commenting.

Lovely detail in this picture. Perhaps he is a decedent of the “tumbleweed finches”

Never know, I guess. But the house we lived in where the tumbleweed was, is located about ten miles away from here. It’s my husband’s homeplace.
