The red sandstone cliffs take spectacular shapes: columns, swags, towers, corbels, funnels, sawteeth, sinkholes, potholes offer a constant vision of wonder to the eye. This is sedimentary rock, 99% quartz covered with a thin layer of iron oxide, and it is this latter which gives the stone its reddish colour.

And now a bunch of red tulips, which are my favourites though for choice I'd have them a shade deeper than these. As Valentine's Day approaches, the red ones vanish, held back so they can be put into extra-large bouquets...
The corn poppy, also known as the Flanders poppy or Papaver rhoeas, is a vibrant red wildflower that is commonly found in fields and meadows. It is known for its distinctive bright red petals with a dark black or purple spot at the base. The corn poppy is a symbol of remembrance and is often associated with World War I, particularly in the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
This beautiful flower typically blooms in late spring or early summer and can be found in various parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Its striking appearance and cultural significance make it a beloved wildflower for both aesthetic and symbolic reasons.
On a cool spring morning, a male red-bellied woodpecker clings to a dying redbud tree in the Oklahoma Cross Timbers. His crimson cap glints under the morning sun. With a machine gun-like rhythm, he hammers the bark, his sharp beak excavating a meal of ants and beetles. The forest hums—warblers trill, cardinals belt out melodies, young tender shoots wave gently in the spring breeze—his staccato drumming commands attention.
Not truly red-bellied, a faint rosy blush tints his underside, a subtle secret. He pauses, surveys the greening canopy, then resumes his loud drumming, echoing through the hardwoods.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Red-shouldered hawks search for prey while perched on a treetop or soaring over woodlands. When they sight prey, they kill it by dropping directly onto it from the air. When in clearings, they sometimes fly low to surprise prey. Red-shouldered hawks, like most raptors, have very sharp vision and reasonably good hearing, with talons capable of killing animals at least equal to their own size. Small mammals are typically the most important prey, especially rodents. Voles, gophers, mice, moles and chipmunks may locally be favored based on abundance. Slightly larger mammals, such as rabbits and tree squirrels, are also occasionally predated. Other prey can include amphibians, reptiles (especially small snakes), small birds, and large insects.

The red-legged seriema or crested cariama (Cariama cristata) is a mostly predatory terrestrial bird in the seriema family (Cariamidae), included in the "Gruiformes" in the old paraphyletic circumscription, but increasingly placed in a distinct order Cariamiformes (along with three extinct families). The red-legged seriema inhabits grasslands from Brazil south of the Amazon to Uruguay and northern Argentina. The area over which it occurs is estimated at 5.9 million km², though the bird is not found everywhere in this region of course. The species is absent from the Mata Atlântica and planalto uplands along the coast of Brazil.
but since it's still so cold we stayed home .. and so glad I did! the pine grosbeaks came for a visit:-) I only get to see these beauties in the winter time!

The band on his leg had ".gov" on it, so I assume it is a US band. I couldn't read anything else on it.

While taking photos of a church in Grayson, Saskatchewan I noticed what I at first thought was a coyote in a vacant lot nearby. It was a red fox grooming itself. It was not bothered by three photographers moving closer to take photos. When I knelt down to get a lower angle this is how the fox reacted.
Red Squirrels usually live for 3 - 4 years. Outside of the breeding season females are tolerant of each other. This one was seen in the Cairngorms, Scotland.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, my friends! Spring has definitely sprung! It was dry while we were out enjoying the annual Tulip Festival. It held out for a couple hours until the sky opened up and watered the fields again.
I think I got some nice shots, which I hope to share throughout the week. Have a great week ahead, my friends!
