Welcoming guests from all walks of life!
Hmmm, looks tasty…
don’t mind if I do!
Last week on my Mary Prentiss Inn garden check up I was greeted by a fine pair of goldfinches. They were breakfasting on the expiring cosmos and weren’t at all bothered my presence tidying up the garden. The garden is coming into full summer bloom and has become the neighborhood mecca for pollinators. See the Mary Prentiss Inn website with a new video showcasing the Inn’s many outstanding architectural features and lovely decor: The Mary Prentiss Inn.

I adore your first goldfinch shot. How do you do it? Mother Nature at it’s best, and you’re right there to capture it.

Sometimes you are looking, sometimes it just happens, sometimes you miss, and always try to have camera at the ready!
