The Canadian Canaries: A Beautiful Couple

Lately I've been seeing a pair of goldfinches on my morning walk. They flit about the bushes like school children on a playground. They're not easy to capture motionless. I was lucky to get these two to pose for about 15 seconds. Snap, snap, snap went my camera, and then off they went to bluer skies and greener pastures.

They're a handsome couple. The male goldfinch is as close to a Canadian canary as we get. Stunningly beautiful. The missus ain't too shabby either.
