This pic has a hazy look to it because it was shot through the bathroom window.
Another Delightful yellow, Mr. Crab spider.

Looks like he's practising his camouflage technique Bethie. He has succeeded in that photo. Thanks for posting it.

It took me a while to find the Finch, he certainly does blend in with the plants. That is a great photo.
The Crab Spider blends well with the sunflower too.

I find it totally amazing how birds and insects blend so well into their backgrounds and both your goldfinch and your crab spider Bethie have the technique down to a T.

They're both so beautiful, they don't even look real. At first glance I thought: "Did she accidentally post a picture of sunflowers instead of the finch?"
Nice job.
