If crayons exploded and learned how to tweet,
You’d get this absurdist with bright red feet.
This male Red-legged Honeycreeper was photographed in Costa Rica, showing off his electric blue body, velvet black mask, and those unmistakable crimson legs. He looks less like a bird and more like a rogue highlighter with an attitude. Just another reminder that nature has a sense of humor—and a very colorful palette.
I visited Tower Hill Botanical Garden today for their annual dahlia bulb sale, hosted by the New England Dahlia Society. I got about 20 bulbs, and look forward to photographing their flowers this summer. There weren't a lot of flowers on display around the property, though, as many plants are a not blooming yet.
This is most likely the last of my Autumn Dreams series, the extreme wind my area has experienced is certain to have wrecked the last remnants of colored leaves. I'm a sucker for a red tree in fall, this was my last photo on the way out of the highlands Saturday. The pristine look of winter had fallen away in this location, would have been quite the sight a few hours earlier I'm sure. I'm using a black canvas on my snow photos, the bright white border dulls it all down I think.
I have been well satisfied this year with the autumn photos I got staying within 50 or 60 miles from my home. It has helped me find the smaller scenes and I've been blessed to stumble into quite a few gems in a wide variety of circumstances.

Another partridge endemic to the island of Borneo. Also known as Bornean Hill Partridge. My 429th lifer in my local bird species count.
429) Red Breasted Partridge
Red-breasted Partridge, Bornean Hill Partridge, Arborophila hyperythra
Another partridge that is endemic to hill and montane forest in Borneo. It lives in primary and secondary forests at elevations of 600–1,800 m and prefers bamboos and thickets. Usually feeds in groups, foraging in thickets, on forest roads and near rivers. Its diet consists of seeds, fruits and insects.
I'm afraid the heat has kept me away from Sussex Prairies for the last few days, but the temperature finally dropped today, to my huge relief, so I'm sure I'll be back there very soon. I love colour and the garden is a feast for the eyes at this time of year. :)
A female Red JungleFowl searching for food at Telok Blangah Way.
Note: The most obvious difference between the domestic chicken and the wild Red JungleFowl is in their legs and feet. Domestic chicken has yellow legs and feet while the Red JungleFowl has grayish legs and feet. There are a few families of Red JungleFowl running wild at Pasir Ris Park. And no, you cannot catch them for your BBQ coz they are protected by law.

This is the first adult red-shouldered hawk I've seen in the park, so I was very happy to get a photo. It's not a common bird here as we are on the western edge of its range. Previously I've only seen a couple juveniles of this species.
