A Cedar Waxwing ushers in summer. Perched in a tree with leaves so fresh you can almost smell the fragrant summer breeze.
Happy summer and happy Friday to all.
And to those on the southern half of the globe happy winter.

Just beautiful. Happy summer ☺️
Thanks Ellie.
Happy Summer to you both!
Thanks Eliza, summer has hit a bit of a bump in the road with chilly temps and even a bit of snow this weekend. Hope she comes back soon.
Wow, snow? I guess that is the elevation you’re at, but seems late for snow!
Yes, it is unusual but I guess that is perhaps one consequence of climate change. You just never know.
Happy summer to you too and thanks for celebrating it with such an evocative picture.
Thanks and we wish you a wonderful summer as well and a fine weekend.
Happy Summer. Extraordinary photo, Mike — the bright green color of summer, the elegance of the cedar waxwing.
Thanks Jet, Waxwings are such interesting birds. This wing-tips are such a bright color and like no other birds feathers in color quality. Happy summer to you.
Waxwings are one of my favorite birds, Mike.
They are up there on my list as well. However, when I contemplate my list it seems to be a l one one. Like kids it’s hard to pick a favorite.

Such a beautiful image Mike. very nicely done.
Thanks Pete, now is only summer would return. We had a bit of snow and chilly temperatures last evening.
This bird is the fashionista of all the birds.
She does look smashing.
Pretty chilly start to summer! It was 16 C in Greater Toronto Area today, but with summer like sunshine.
Hi, I set up that post earlier in the week when things were indeed looking summery however our start to the summer was also chilly, about 4 C, and with a bit of snow in the air. Rain this weekend but back to early summer next week if all goes according to forecast. Have a great weekend.
