Sunshine on a Stem

 

There is a patch of these wonderful daisy-like flowers at the Desert Botanical garden.  I think they are in the same family as sunflowers but they are smaller.  



When I stopped to admire all those pretty yellow flowers, I noticed some rustling going among the blooms.  That's when I noticed that a group of goldfinches were in there eating the seeds from the flowers.  

I tried to get a good photo of one or two of the birds but this was the best I could get.

Beautiful flowers, Sharon.

The little yellow birds can be very fast.

Maybe this is why goldfinches are gold -- to blend in with yellow flowers? Hmmmmm...

That is a nice bonus to have the birds there, Sharon.

We have just a few locally, but there used to be flocks. They're our state bird.

The birds are always fast and quick and had to photograph. Nice photos.
