a trip up to see if i could spot a red squirrel , and my luck was in , managed to see two little Reds today .they were quite distant at times as there were quite a few people walking dogs thank you for all your views and comments.
The day after Arne we headed to Brownsea in search of the squirrels and were not disappointed. Unfortunately by the time i'd spotted the opportunity for the action shots light was fairly low, i'll be making a return trip looking to improve on these images!

In Florida, Red-shouldered Hawks breed from January through May or through June . Most birds reside in Florida, but the states' population is
augmented in September and October by fall migrants from northern states.
The Red-shouldered Hawk is probably the most numerous and widely distributed breeding hawk in Florida. Pairs
are quite noticeable as they circle above their territories, incessantly crying "kee-yar kee-yar," and intermittent
performing undulating sky-dances.
I found this one perched on a fence doing his crying thing, at Dinner Island Ranch WMA. Hendry County, Florida.
It was just one of over a dozen I saw that day.
I have a friend that grows the most beautiful orchids but also Amaryllis. I think that being a gardener is a gift.
These two red telephone boxes were not in the greatest condition but they both had working telephones in them.
I enjoyed my visit to Coventry thanks for all your comments on my pictures.

You know for sure that you've spent the last ten days with avid birders when, at the sight of this, you not just get your camera out and say to each other "look, a bird". No, instead you've got your camera ready with the longest lens available and the correct settings and you tell each other "look, a Red-necked phalarope". :o)
Okay, to be honest the naming bit is far easier in German (and Icelandic) as this bird is called "Odins Chick".

About the Garden
Before the 1800s, native people hunted, fished, and camped along Johnson Creek.
In the second half of the 19th century, the property was part of the 320-acre donation land claim belonging to Jacob Johnson. Johnson operated a sawmill furnishing lumber for the very early homes in Portland. Johnson's land extended north from Mt. Scott down across the creek that was later named for him.
During the 1920s a house stood on the property which was reportedly a pig farm.
In 1931, John and Lilla Leach purchased the 4.5 acres and named it Sleepy Hollow. John, a pharmacist, and Lilla, an accomplished botanist, devoted their land to their fascination with plants.
About Lilla and John Leach
The story of John and Lilla Leach is a compelling one – one linked with early Oregon history, science (Lilla the botanist), business/commerce (John the druggist), civic-minded citizens (YMCA & Rose Festival, Leach Garden as botanical park), writers (both Lilla & John), humorist and historian (John) and an inspiring love story. Who could ask for more?

I love love love these cupcakes, red velvet has become my favourite these days. The icing is cream cheese, and nothing better than the red chocolate and chocolate bits to decorate. Yummy!
The moon rises low and red on the horizon over Nantucket Sound on August 28, 2007. This was obviously a moon that got the shutter-bugs out in force as I have seen numerous other photos taken on this evening on Flickr.com. Searching for the date will bring up several beauties.
