I love the brightly coloured but they are just as beautiful in the subdued colours of fall and winter.

Pięknie wygląda nawet przy zmianie swojego "ubranka". Pozdrawiam.
It looks beautiful, even when you change your "clothes". Yours.

Makes me think of a song "A coat of many colors".

Love the blog post title, AND the fabulous photos.

They are still cute. I saw more goldfinches this year than last, but I hear that the goldfinch population in NJ is dwindling.

Great shot, and they are still handsome. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Brian King said...

Well done, Debbie! The catch light in the eyes is really nice! We probably won't have goldfinches around until Nov or Dec.

it's so much more fun to see them turn the other way somehow. Great pics! They are so cute!

Cute shots of your Goldies! It is hard for me to even think about winterwear. Thanks for sharing, Debbie!

Ellie said...

Such a cute wee bird.
I think we are going to need our winterwear here too in a few days - it is supposed to be getting quite cold!!!

Adrienne said...

Neat shots! What's he perched on? and I'm glad they get that extra coat ... poor guys outside all winter. I know you'll be taking care of them, though!

Rosemary Aubut said...

Beautiful new coat! Lovely images!

Miss Debbie said...

Love the way he is looking at you!

Kmcblackburn said...

So cute!

Muffy's Marks said...

They are much more 'dazzling' in the summer. I suppose they are trying to remind us to find our winter coats too!!! I'm afraid we'll be needing them soon!!

Stewart M said...

These birds do look so smart when they come out of moult! Its like getting a whole new set of birds.

Great photo, I have noticed that also. I have a thistle bag they eat from in my backyard.

Pretty every season...I jut read an article in our local paper about how they change -- I never knew it before; (so now we know I don't need to subscribe to the paper, just read my good blogging friends!.
