Just like the bumble bee, I’m hanging on with dear life to the last blossoms of summer.  Oh how I miss the bright vivid colors of nature during the gray days of winter!

The sunflower fields at sunset are magical!

The American Goldfinches were enjoying lunch in the sunflower field and snacking on the seeds from the flowers.  I enjoyed watching this adult male feed the juvenile and in between bites, they were singing such beautiful bird songs!

After the sunflower blooms die, the goldfinches take over and enjoy lunchtime in a field filled with seeds!  How wonderful to save the flowers for the birds instead of cutting them!

I don’t recall scooters being popular in my neighborhood when I was a kid.  My friends and I were more into bikes and roller skates … the old fashioned skates that fit over your shoes and had a key!  I always had boo boos on my knees from falling when learning to roller skate on the bumpy sidewalks!  Today I often see kids tooling around on scooters.  They look like fun and there are probably no training wheels required!  🙂
