Catherine, I see there are no images posted here. What am I missing here? Are the postings sometimes just slow in coming?
Sorry,Dean, looks like my reply to yours yesterday did not post...
Yes, the seasonal contests usually do start out slowly and gain momentum during the contest period. Each entrant can post up to 3 images. So, don't hesitate to start the ball rolling if you have a shot you want to post. They all go here, in this thread.
Thanks for your interest and participation.

It wouldn't be summer in our yard without the young Goldfinches. This one was a bit shy. Taken July 21st.

It also wouldn't be summer without the birds fresh from their bath like this Common Yellowthroat taken in early August.

You can tell I haven't gotten any trips in this summer (retirement is too much work). One last one of the Sunset flowers and a Praying Mantis taken last week.
