House finches seem to be the dominate ones at the feeder these days. The female has the same markings as the male but doesn’t have the red feathers. They do seem to like the sunflowers seeds that are out there.
This fellow is actually lighter in color than most of them that are at the feeder. Its light brown color is nice to see. There is spilled seeds on the railing and this guy is walking the plank as he picks up the good ones.
A shot of the female cardinal as she dances on the far fence railing. I had to snap quickly as she didn’t stick around for very long.
More memories of the visit to KC. The Roselle Court at the art museum is a two story classical styled place. The skylights are great and the vaulted ceilings in mother balcony and bottom walkways make one feel like they have travelled back in time.
Georgia O’Keefe’s painting of the apple blossoms looks a lot like spring. She is famous for her painted animal skulls and New Mexico landscapes. Her large flowers were some of her early trademarks as an artist.
Sargent’s lady in white is one of the more famous paintings at the museum. He painted many kinds of things but made his living painting portraits for the wealthy.
An interesting feature at a rest stop along I-35 was this scattered herd of buffalo sculptures. The prairie in Iowa and Missouri did have large herds of buffalo roaming the area year round.
It is Monday with a good start for the week. It is cool and the sun has not shown yet today. Our grass is greening and the tulips are slowly poking through. It is too early in the start of spring to get too excited by changing weather. Thank you for stopping by today.
