Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber) on a tree trunk clearing out a nest hole. I found a pair of these woodpeckers working on a number of nest holes at Lake Selmac in southern Oregon. They let me get pretty close, but insisted on staying in the shade while they worked. I pulled the car around and tried shooting from the window. It worked much better, but gave me less choices for backgrounds. The gray/blue on this one is Lake Selmac (the bird was only a couple of feet off of the ground).

Another lovely day in the Glens and nice to meet Barry and Ruth. After a slow start a couple of Reds started to play ball.
Yesterday morning as I was walking to my car in our building's parking lot, I noticed this thin red flower from afar. It stills amazed me the random places where you can find beauty. This morning I couldn’t resist, and went back.
