Hi all,

All the colors of Autumn are gone now, but I went back a few weeks in the queue to process a couple of shots I hadn't done earlier, and include them here ahead of some current ones shot this past week. So this set covers a range from about mid-November 'til present, and kinda documents the waning background colors along the way.

Fortunately our birds continue to provide us with their own lovely Winter hues even as their surroundings turn bare and drab.

We hope you enjoy these,

Kenn

Very lovely set Kenn.
I find the colors in the 1st Bluebird shot and the Goldfinch shot to be nearly perfect. And I don't know why you don't go ahead and get close to that Robin - :lol:

Beauties Kenn, Great shots all but 1,3 and 6 are really striking.

A little L goes a long way.

Those Autumn colours are simply stunning, Kenn. The birds are also stunning. Your photographs are always such a treat. The last is positively scary; I'm so glad Robins are as small as they are!!

Stunning shots and BGs Kenn... good to see all your "friends" with the autumn colors, I particularly enjoyed the cardinal composition... just outstanding.
