With this one I concentrated more on the bright centre of the Lilly, with the petals more of a frame for the bright centrepiece.
The male painted bunting (Passerina ciris) is one of the most brightly colored songbirds in North America. The French name for the species, nonpareil (without equal), refers to its distinctive purple, blue, red, yellow and green plumage. Males attain adult plumage when two years old. Females are a yellowish green and resemble subadult males. The male’s song is a variable high-pitched warble.
Range
Painted buntings occur in two geographically distinct breeding populations: a western population that ranges from northwest Florida to Texas, including Oklahoma and parts of Mexico; and an eastern population limited to coastal areas from North Carolina to northern Florida, and inland along large rivers. Two subspecies are recognized based on geographic distribution, migration patterns and timing of molt (shedding of feathers). Painted buntings in Franklin, Gulf, Bay and Wakulla counties of the Florida Panhandle may be an expansion of the western subspecies or an overlap of occurrence. Genetic studies are needed to determine the range of the two subspecies, or if they are so dissimilar that two separate species should be designated. The breeding range of the eastern subspecies in Florida extends along the northeast coast from the state line south to Cape Canaveral and inland along the St. Johns River. Eastern painted buntings winter in south Florida, Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Florida is the only state with a breeding and wintering population.
Coastal scrub plant communities and edges of coastal oak hammocks are the preferred breeding habitats in Florida; however, the subspecies may also use roadside thickets, uncultivated fields, abandoned citrus groves and some urban areas. Painted buntings build nests in shrubs or small trees, usually within 6 feet (approximately 2 meters) above the ground.
I found this male in Polk County, Florida.

The bright horses have broken free from the fields
They are horses of love, their manes full of fire
They are parting the cities, those bright burning horses
And everyone is hiding, and no one makes a sound
And I'm by your side and I'm holding your hand
Bright horses of wonder springing from your burning hand
Miss you Mom ♥

One of the features I love so much about the barred owl is their eyes . They are so big and so bright. You can not help but love them. Another species that is hard for me to stop from hitting the shutter button.
Wishing you a great start to the new week and may it be a blessed one too !!
Hello All!
I thought I'd end the week with a bright flower so as to wish you a bright and beautiful day and weekend ahead!
BTW, I think this is some kind of mallow. It was about the size of a dinnerplate! I found it on a recent walk.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments. Have a fantastic day!

I try not to aim into the sun often but the bright cloud reflections in the Snake River at Oxbox Bend were bold and impressive. Might want to wear sunglasses when looking at this.
Thanks for your visit!

While doing a very long road trip deep in the middle of farm country I was greeted by this very bright colorful sunrise.
Sethi loves the current sunny weather too. When I took this photo he was relaxing in a ray of sunshine in the living room but he spends more time outside now too although it is very cold.
The path has all kinds of sections. Some parts are in frozen shadows, others are lit and sunny. It is always nice to find a bright spot on your path, and they're always there, so keep moving forward and don't stay in shadows.
