Murmur, regarding your comment, it is ironic but just last week I received a request from a professional artist (oil painter) if she could get a high resolution image to paint from to illustrate her book. I did accommodate her request. On the day that I took that photo, the Goldfinches were too busy with the thistle to pay alot of attention to me. Actually, I like this photo as much if not more than the earlier one that I posted. Note the thistles falling from his mouth.
