Are you ready? It is time for "R" at ABC Meme. So we will look for "r" words and something Red. Like the flowers out at Butchart Gardens right now. It is so wonderful there. The tulips are really ready for us.
Then we will find a Ring-necked duck.
Let me see what I can find in my files now....Oh the little owls have really Round eyes, Round little heads and bodies.
Then we will go to the back yard and find some birds with Red on them there for Stewart at Wild Birds, for Anni at the Bird D'pot and for the Outdoor and Nature memes too.
How about a Red-winged Blackbird.
And a Red House Finch.
I saw a Red-tailed Hawk fly over the other day.
I have not seen the ghost of Panama flats lately....it is a leucistic
Fox Sparrow, it is a Rare bird for me to see.
I got two shots of two woodpeckers this week. Here is the Pileated with the Red on his head.
And here is the Flicker with Red on his head.
Here is a surfer Riding the waves at Sombrio. Now I need to have a Rest! I hope you all have a Relaxing week.

A great group of beautiful photos. Butchart Gardens is one my favorite places!
ReplyDeleteThe Pileated Woodpecker has to be one of my favourite birds - and for a change, I have been luck enough to see some!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
lovely series, and I do love the woodpeckers
ReplyDeleteA beautiful show of Tulips Nora.
ReplyDeleteHi Nora.
ReplyDeleteI just read the comment you left for me at I'd Rather B Birdin' = about being able to read the blog post more easily. There is a trick you can do with your computer if text is much too small for you on ANY blog or website. If you are using Windows on your computer [I'm not sure it works on a Macintosh] ---But to make the text larger for viewing and reading, use the CTRL key, while depressing the CTRL KEY, at the same time click on the "+" key on your keyboard. It will make text larger...several clicks enlarges...
On the other hand, if you want text smaller use the CTRL Key [found on the bottom left side of keyboard] and click on the "-" [minus] key atop your keyboard. It will work like this for you until you reboot your system.
Thanks Anni, that does help a lot.
Deleteps....forgot to mention I loved your birds...the ring necked duck is something I've not seen here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great assortment of birds! That fox sparrow is really something!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I call a garden! Beautiful shots of beautiful flowers.

I'm back visiting from WBW linkings. Hope your Wednesday treats you well.

ReplyDeleteWell, I think you got every R word and picture for all your memes.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff and I liked your Ramble.
These are just wonderful.....great walk, how I would love to visit Butchart Gardens (and the wonderful city that goes with them) again!!! Your woodpecker picture is great, so much better than mine for Stewart's meme. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bird shots. I do not have the patience to take good bird photos, so I envy yours!
ReplyDeleteTulips always look stunning planted like that. Lovely birds photos especially the fluffy owls.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Butchart Gardens in years, but it is still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of birds with red on them, even though I came here via Our World Tuesday (a day late).
It looks like Spring is well underway on the Island. You're always a little ahead of the mainland, and the coast is always 'way ahead of me out here in southeastern Alberta.
Gorgeous photos!
