Striking tulip variety in intense red with fingered petals that resemble the foliage of a cutleaf Japanese maple (Acer palmatum dissectum) in autumn.
The Red color is a bane for CMOS sensors, always blows out in the SOOC JPEGs.
Best shoot in RAW and deal with the Red channel by manipulating the Tone Curve. Getting a little better with this, all done via Olympus' RAW developer "Olympus Viewer 3".

The red fody (Foudia madagascariensis), sometimes known as the Madagascar fody, red cardinal fody or common fody, is a small bird native to Madagascar and introduced to various other islands in the Indian Ocean. It is a common bird within its restricted range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the red fody in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected in Madagascar. He used the French name Le cardinal de Madagascar and the Latin Cardinalis Madagascariensis.[2] Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.[3] When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson.[3] One of these was the red fody. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Loxia madagascariensis and cited Brisson's work.[4] This species is now placed in the genus Foudia that was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850.[5] The type species was subsequently designated as the red fody.[6] The species is monotypic.[7]
The English word "fody" and the name of the genus Foudia are from the Madagascan name for the red fody Foudi or Fodi.[8]
Description
The red fody is about 5 inches (13 cm) in length and weighs 14–19 grams (0.49–0.67 oz). The male of the species is bright red with black markings around each eye. Its wings and tail are olive-brown. Its underparts are also red, which distinguishes it from other fodies in areas where it has been introduced. The female fody's upper parts are olive-brown and its underparts are greyish brown.[9]
Distribution and habitat
It is a common bird found in forest clearings, grasslands and cultivated areas, but not in dense forest. In Madagascar it is regarded as a pest of rice cultivation. It has been introduced to other areas of the Indian Ocean, included the Amirantes, Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius and Réunion.[9]
Funny how I get excited over something as simple as a couple red berries.. so hard to find any color in winter

Red Crossbills in North America are quite variable, from small-billed birds that feed on spruce cones to large-billed ones that specialize on pines.

This was shot from the MDH. There are 3 Red Mountains in a row.
The biggest problem with taking photos on MDH is there are many beautiful views with no pull off spot. There are still many beautiful spots to shoot, but many you just have to drive by.

Thought I would pop these pictures up today. Red Grouse taken in the Yorkshire Dales 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately yesterday was the glorious 12th ( not so glorious for the birds) when these beautiful birds would be driven from their habitat and made to fly in to the path of people wantingt to shoot them in the name of sport. I understand the need for them to be controlled in numbers. I may not agreee with it. However what I think landkeepers need to be accountable for is the raptor decimation caused by raising Red Grouse on moorland through poisoning, trapping, and shooting. This year has been particulary bad eveidently. In my opinion all birds should be shot through the lens of a camera not through the barrel of guns. www.rspb.org.uk/…/bird-of-prey-persecution-crimewa…/
questa è una modifica a una foto già postata...ma ha per me un sapore diverso dall'originale...to be continued..

The first Red River Carts were constructed by the Metis in the early 1800's from wood, rawhide and sinew. They could transport heavy loads of furs to the Fur Traders. These carts were drawn by horse or by oxen.
