Three photos that have been hanging out on my desktop - three good things that gave me pleasure:
- From my trip to
Milledgeville, Georgia on April 11, with cousin Susan - this photo was taken from inside the tour trolley. I wish those colorful irises showed up better (click to enlarge.) The corner of Hancock and Clark was humming with activity - lots of college students walking about on a fine, warm day. Milledgeville was the antebellum capitol of Georgia and the
Governor's mansion can be seen across the street there.
- Susan and I did a u-turn in order to visit this shop
"The French Market & Tavern" in Locust Grove, Georgia, as we were about to part at the end of the day. A great find! Located in an old hardware store, the owners have made this old building their own by incorporating New Orleans style cuisine, with wonderful things to browse in the adjoining shop. We spotted some people dining Al fresco in the courtyard, as we were leaving. Love that flowering vine - I think it is
Carolina Jessamine.
- And back home this week - I couldn't believe my eyes! A true yellow Goldfinch visited my feeder. Sorry the photo is so fuzzy - I didn't want my motion from the inside to startle it away by sneaking up to be closer to it. My book group read
The Goldfinch earlier this year, so I sent this photo out to the group by email - sparking lots of back and forth discussion of birds in their gardens.
I hope you have a beautiful weekend, full of good things!

My Lovely Dear Lynn, what a synchronous sign the goldfinch payed you a visit.
I would have made a U-Turn for that place too.
A really good weekend full of beautiful things indeed. So far, so good. Excellent coffee, food, health, weather and finds at yard sales. Wishing you more good things too.

I am so envious of all that greenery n the warmth evident in the girl wearing shorts! It's been so cold here, n the plants are groiwng so slow.
Vine flowers matchh the umbrella, n the pretty bird too.
Oh, it's so green and springy in your area! How wonderful.
During the summer there are a lot of finches and goldfinches in my neighbourhood. There are even streets around here called Finch and Goldfinch. (Although none called Pigeon, Seagull, or Canada Goose, oddly enough.)
A yellow parasol and a yellow umbrella - so sunny!
That looks like a lovely place! And lovely bird. Nice of you not to startle it.
I'm not sure where I've been...if, in fact, I've been anywhere; but what I do know is I failed to comment on this post!
Such a pretty little bird. Birds have the wonderful ability of brightening one's day. :)
I've never seen a yellow Goldfinch before, that's amazing! You did well to capture him on camera.
