I PLANTED SO MANY PASSION FLOWER SEEDS AND THEY WERE MOSTLY INCARNATA BUT THERE WERE OTHER VARIETIES IN THE MIX.

I PLANTED THESE FROM SEED LAST YEAR. THAT AREN'T GREAT GERMINATERS BUT IF YOU PLANT ENOUGH SEEDS YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET A VINE. SO MANY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS IN THE WORLD BUT THIS IS NEAR THE TOPS

I was going to do a line of hand painted greeting cards to sell on eBay but now I intend to burn these after I reach certain milestones in my Boring Stock Trades project. Instead of attempting to do any kind of commerce I decided to trade stocks for income. I will do art for myself and burn it when I'm ready.

Very sweet close up of sparrow with sun shinning on it's face.

This American Goldfinch is so puffy, maybe its a pregnant female, unsure, but it is adorable how fat this bird is. Taken February 2021 from BELLAROSE 32305

More footage of the American Gold Finch bombarding the feeder. The camera is a Logitech webcam and is having trouble keeping up with the action.

The cowbird is a bit of a bully, they showed up in late February 21 and bullied the goldfinch brigade right off the feeder. Still they are dark beaties with their black bodies and brown heads - a very strange looking bird - I had never seen them up close before they muscled in on the feeder in February 21. The passion flower vine was grown from seed harvested from a wild plant growing on the north side of Tallahassee. I brought the seeds to the south side and got them going. Now passion flower has taken over the lot. Passion flower is not only one of the most beautiful of flowers but one of the most intelligent and preferred as a larval food by the Zebra Longwing butterfly - the longest lived and most intelligent butterfly - and my personal favorite butterfly - when I see the Zebra Longwing my heart flies with them. They are not the flashiest butterfly but their unique coloring and "aura" causes me to love them so. Passion flower demonstrates intelligence by growing in almost any soil, by waiting to germinate when conditions are correct, by keeping itself alive through difficult times and traveling underground to find the best spot to come up. Once established almost impossible to kill. Many birds are walking around on the ground, visiting the fountain. The cowbird stays a long time chowing down, no one dares mess with the cowbird. When cowbird comes to feed the other birds leave town, get on the ground or go to the water.

The beautiful Gold Finch has many forms and colors from birth to maturity and the males/females also look quite different, both change colors as they grow, mature, quite a bit, from dull green greys wit bright yellows and golds along the way. They are majestic. My feeder in humble Wood Haven was loaded with GOLD in February 2021. They came out of nowhere and dominated the feeder for over a month.

It's just a minute of sunrise but it's an eternity of beauty.

Taken in Tallahassee Florida on a Rainy Day. I Love the Sun Shine. I Love the Rain. I Love the Ricochet Boomerang.
