The last several days have been beautifully warm and golden. The leaves are at their peak here in Philly. I haven't been out and about with my camera lately but did get in a few shots during a stroll along the Wissahickon trail while our son was here visiting this past week. The image above is the stream's reflection of autumn at its best.
I sat for a while along the stream watching the ducks paddle about, scooping up some edibles along the shallow bank.
I rarely get duck photos so I was pleased to add a few to my collection.
Of course, I have no trouble getting photos
of my backyard feathered friends.
They have been aggressively feeding and quickly
emptying my feeders every couple of days!
Some are very picky eaters, tossing out morsels that do not suit them
until they find exactly that right peanut.
The squirrels and doves are thankful
for their discards though!
And I'm reminded that the feeders are empty again
as this mournful little titmouse waits for a refilling.
Guess I better get my hiney in gear!
Have an awesome weekend my friends!
We're off to Amsterdam so I'll be sharing
a bit of their fall with you next week.
(P.S. I'm behind on my visits
but will catch up soon!)

lots of good walking to be had in Amsterdam. Those ducks look to be walking on water.
your birds are great but i could seriously stare at that first pic forever...love the colors reflected in that water....
travel light.
Beautiful photos Reena. Some of the birds are very similar to our British ones and others completely different. I always like your titmice.
What spectacular Fall images and reflections. Have a great trip and we look forward to seeing you here when you return.
Lovely photos, Reena! Have a great trip to Amsterdam!
Such beauty! The standouts for me are the blue jay with the gorgeous bokeh and the first shot of the reflection.
Lovely pictures ~ The colors of the birds are glorious ~
Reena, I haven't heard the word "hiney" since I left PA! Your watery photos are mesmerizing and the bird shots have such clarity. Enjoy your trip.
What a wonderful golden image that first one is! Beautifully done, Reena! The series is a great one, indicative of a very positive walk. (Will enjoy seeing images of Amsterdam.)
You will fly again!!!
That is awesome, as a professional traveler.
Hi Reena...The first one is awesome...and the last is one of my favorite feathered friends... cute!!

beautiful captures & safe travels =)
It is great in Philly right now, isn't it? That's why I'm so unhappy to be here on a boat in Texas. Looking forward to your report from Amsterdam. That destination is on our radar.
Enjoy
Can't wait to see your Amsterdam pictures! I the meantime I'm sure your bird friends will be missing you:)
These shots are outstanding!
Beautiful shots! Can't wait to see the shots that you'll be bringing back from Amsterdam. Winter has hit us here!
Uh oh .. you forgot something ... me!!!!!!!!
We have some ducks that swim in the pond behind my house. You got some great shots of them. Everytime I go out to get a picture, they swim to the other side. I guess I am not as fast as you are.
Beautiful shots as usual!
Beautiful pictures, look forward to seeing what you find in Amsterdam.
Reena, these images are so very atmospheric - maybe I say that every time but I think it's a real gift being able to take the beholder to a special place in themselves... And I do so appreciate your Fall images from your last post too. We don't really get Fall here in Greece and I so miss the beautiful colors during Fall... I'm sure Amsterdam will be a color treat! Wishing you a terrific trip!
Such a nice reflection capture! I hope all those hungry birds does not mean bad and long and cold winter. I'm so not ready! ;)
Hugs from Ohio,
I.
What a nice collection to celebrate Autumn! This has now become my favorite time of year!
Always a joy to see your photo and your backyard friends. Enjoy your trip..
Safe travels my friend.
Hugs~
I hope your flight got out!

and all your yard friends are sweet and adorable
wow, reena the reflections are terrific, so are the colours!

Beautiful photos, Reena! I hope Sandy isn't as bad as the weather people have predicted.
