I want God,
I want poetry,
I want real danger,
I want freedom,
I want goodness.
I want sin.”

CLAIR DE LUNE
A male non-breeding plumaged Scarlet Tanager sports some evidence of berry-picking in the local woods.
The appropriately named “Scarlet Bracket” Pycnoporus coccineus (garden fungi) is one of the most common and colourful brackets that can be found even in dry weather growing on sticks and wood. Orange scarlet in colour, these fan shaped, firm bracket mushrooms attach themselves along the straight edge to wood. Their size is very variable. Juveniles are a lovely scarlet colour; the underside is a deeper colour and consists of fine pores. As this fungus ages, the bracket gets larger. The surface colour also tends to fade with age and exposure to strong sunlight – in fact some old specimens are bleached to white, but usually the pores retain some colour.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 23rd of October is “mushrooms”. On one of my walks a few months ago when the weather had begun to change from winter to warmer spring, I chanced across these Scarlet Bracket mushrooms attached to the dead branch of an old prunus tree which had been heavily pruned. I was only photographing the prunus blooms and then I noticed this colourful survivor clinging to a branch. I was so taken with the colour in contrast to the pink of the blossom, the grey of the wood and azure sky that I decided to take a photograph of it. Now I’m glad I did, as I feel that it is perfect for this week’s theme. I do hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile.

I certainly don't love these little beauties! But they are certainly back in abundance in the garden again this week. Although this is one from the archives. HIHD
Scarlet Backed Flowerpecker
Scarlet-Backed Flowerpecker, Dicaeum cruentatum, Sepah Puteri Merah
Common bird in gardens, parks and cultivated areas, even in the cities. Because of its tiny size and fast moving behaviour, it is not easy to get a good photo of this bird. Usually moves in pairs feeding on flowers, insects and small fruits.
Sepah Puteri adalah burung kecil yang bergerak pantas dari pokok ke pokok mencari makan sambil berbunyi bising. Selalunya boleh dijumpai di kawasan taman dengan pokok pokok bunga dan berbuah, terutama yang ada banyak pokok dedalu sebagai tumbuhan tumpang.
Maybe if I was lucky this little scarlet lily beetle would be flying on to pastures new! Hmmm I doubt it somehow lol! HWW have a great day ;0)
The scarlet lily bugs are certainly at work in my garden! This does not look good for my plants!!! HIHD

"The Scarlet Pimpernel is the first novel in a series of historical fiction by Baroness Orczy, published in 1905. It was written after her stage play of the same title enjoyed a long run in London, having opened in Nottingham in 1903.
The novel is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine."
"They seek him here, they seek him there, that demned elusive pimpernel!"
I'm always happy to see this tiny wildflower in springtime! It usually pops up in waste places, as here, at the edge of the parking lot.
Anagallis arvensis.
"A. arvensis is now naturalised almost worldwide, with a range that encompasses the Americas, Central and East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Malasia, the Pacific Islands, Australasia and Southern Africa"--Wikipedia.

C. miltaris colonises buried caterpillars and pupae of butterflies and moths. Careful excavation reveals the host pupa, possibly of a Large Yellow Underwing moth (thanks, Keith).

It seems like whenever it's an overcast and rainy day, that's precisely when a bird is going to show-up that I've been wanting to photograph. My first Scarlet Tanager.
Crocothemis erythraea - In some rare cases, females of this species have a color similar to the males, like this one.
This Scarlet Tanager is clearly orange..A striking sight in the foliage. I am glad he came close enough for a few shots. Must be a young male transiting to adult plumage.

The minute I saw this bird I knew it wasn't the cardinal because of the brightness of the red. I was really thrilled to get a picture of this beautiful scarlet tanager!
Ara macao (Scarlet macaw / Guacamayo escarlata)
The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large yellow, red and blue Central and South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. It is native to humid evergreen forests of the Neotropics. Its range extends from south-eastern Mexico to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil in lowlands of 500 m (1,600 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction, or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas, it remains fairly common. It is the national bird of Honduras. Like its relative the blue-and-yellow macaw, the scarlet macaw is a popular bird in aviculture as a result of its striking plumage.
