Red-bellied woodpeckers made a nest about 8 meters up in one of our dead ash trees. In the past, they have always hollowed out live sections of Chinkapin oaks for their nest cavities in our woods. The little woodpecker is so loud with his begging calls that I thought he would have brought himself to the attention of raccoons and fox snakes. I wrapped some sheet aluminum around the trunk of the tree so they won't be able to climb up and make a meal of him. Maybe they'll find some starlings and house sparrows instead.
The male cardinal comes often to the feeder. He knows I'm within 15 feet of him but, as long as I remain still, he just eats and stares at me.

Part of the outfit a new model wore from today's photo shoot at TCPG. More photos coming as time permits, enjoy! This can only mean one thing - winter in Minnesota is coming soon and we are heading into the studio to do pix.
The red squirrel is native to Britain, but its future is increasingly uncertain as the introduced American grey squirrel expands its range across the mainland. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys. The Forestry Commission is working with partners in projects across Britain to develop a long-term conservation strategy that deters greys and encourages reds.
Taken at Higher Hyde heath. It might be a common sight but I just love the colours and patterns on these little beauties.
This plant, a red Anthurium, has been sitting outside on the deck providing a nice splash of red. This is another image in a series I have periodically worked on, all featuring plants against a stark white background, somewhat like classic botanical illustrations. And of course, Red Rule applies. - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D lense, ISO100, Auto WB, Aperture priority mode, f/7.1, ¼ sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: scale image to 9000x6000, adjust exposure to 1 stop over (brighter than) as-shot, increase contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, slightly increase vibrance, enable shadows-highlights and boost shadows slightly, sharpen, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: duplicate the image onto two layers, top layer for mask creation bottom layer for image adjustment, in the top layer use the threshold tool to create a mask by adjusting the cut-of point so the white background is completely blown out leaving a black image of the plant on a white background and then use a paintbrush to paint out any anomalies in the black/plant areas, invert the colours of the top layer so you wind up with a white plant on a black background, add a black/transparent layer mask to the bottom layer and then copy the black and white plant image to the mask, add a new all-white layer below the masked layer to assure a clean white background devoid of any of the imperfections in the original image’s ‘white’ background, then on the masked layer’s image section adjust the tone curve to get a good representation of the plant, slightly increase the plant’s overall saturation, flatten the image, sharpen, save, scale image to 6000x4000, sharpen slightly, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 1800 wide for posting, sharpen slightly, save.
What a sensational day!!!
It doesn't get much better than this. Meeting a beautiful Flickr friend for the first time and spending a day together indulging in passions . . . photography, food & wine and friendship!
Karyn I still can't believe you spotted all those fantastic red fungi!!! Heaven! They just had to be my photo of the day!
(Oh and Janet you were in our thoughts today! You would have screamed with delight if you'd seen all of the red toadstools K discovered)!
Thank you so much K. It really was the BEST day and I can not wait to do it all over again!
Oh and why wait until breakfast . . . I have continued on from where we left off today and the wine and cheese is going down a treat with your Apple & Pomegranate Jam. It's sensational with goats cheese and the blue too!
You are such a gem, a really beautiful person in very way and I am so thrilled that our paths crossed and I have a wonderful friend in you. xx

On Saturday I decided to photograph to something other birds! Here are some tulips growing near my apartment complex.
