We have been having some quieter days, unlike the politicians who are so busy, in the last few days before the 2014 elections.
An email from a friend highlighted the stunning colours that nature provides, here are a few that were captured in stunning beauty.I have no names, just a slide show of beautiful birds.
Quotation of the day, author unknown
“ 7 colours make a rainbow, 7 chords make music,
7 days make a week,
7 continents make a world, and 7 lovely letters make us
FRIENDS”

beautiful birds, America??
I really do not know, I thought one might be a Red Cardinal, but on looking again, this one has a black crown, so maybe, probably not, They are truly magnificent. Jean.
Lovely collection of colorful birds. I love the quote too. Have a happy day!
Hi Jean. The red one is a Eurasian Bullfinch and live in Europe and Asia. We have many of them in Sweden in the forrest. In winter they often are at the birdfeeders. // Urban
These are such beautiful birds!
I loved the quote too.
Love and hugs ~ FlowerLady
Gorgeous photographs Jean. So glad it's quiet there. Carol
the 2nd one is a bullfinch (UK) and the third is a lady gouldian finch (they are cage birds in the US but obviously are wild somewhere else). and the indigo bunting i recognize, too.
Gorgeous creatures Jean!
Beautiful birds, Jean, their Creator is a skillful painter. Most seem like tropical birds to me,
I spotted the Indigo Bunting too. They summer in eastern US and migrate to Central America and the Carrabean Islands to winter. My mom was so pleased to add that one to her life list. I've heard the number 7 described as the number of completeness and it seems to be so. Love G
Really pretty birds! The one that we get to see is the "Indigo Bunting," (#6) and they're one of my favorites in the summer.
And thank-you for taking the time to read CarrieAnne's story and sharing about your cats -- I think you are exactly right in your thoughts.
Beautiful birds! Most that we get here are drab in comparison but beautiful still.
Jean, you are so sweet!
Thanks for sharing these vibrant-coloured birds! They are stunning! I think if I saw one here I would know I was dreaming!!! lol the closest we came to something so colourful was an 'Indigo Bunting'that visited our garden a few years back.
Have a wonderful weekend and best regards to Hugh!!
Wow, stunning colors !
It is incredible that those colors can occur naturally! Beautiful birds!
Oh my gosh - these are real?! The last photo just melted my heart!
They are indeed beautiful birds and I am very lucky to have seen most of them in their natural habitat.
Hi Jean, or is it Nancy? Thanks for stopping by my place I hope you will make it a regular stop. Love your header, beautiful skies. Have a wonderful week. J
I cannot fathom how many different birds there are. The colours are amazing. Well shot!
Just checking on you, Jean - I see you have had visits from several interesting feathered friends! I'm not sure that last one likes me!
