Mountain Chickadee

This is Monday's Blip...

It was beautiful fall day.  We enjoyed walking with Piper in the morning but, surprisingly, she didn't want to swim.  We walked along the lake shore for a long way and she never went in past her ankles.  Maybe it was because she stayed wet all day last time.  I got a lot more good shots of the fall colors.  The highlight of my day was having the sweet chickadees eating out of my hand.  We take the feeder in at night (bears) and this morning they were flying around the place where the feeder hangs.  So I held out a handfull of seeds and about 4 of them were taking turns landing on my hand.  Ed went in for my camera and this was the only shot I managed.  The shutter must have scared them and they all flew off.  Thanks to KevinV for the inspiration :-))  I also added an extra of Piper and her dad.  More of our friends arrived in the afternoon and all of us got together at our campfire in the evenng.  Another great day!

Many thanks to everyone who visited my journal yesterday and sprinkled stars and hearts!
