Fruity Petals™ is a vibrant climbing rose from William J. Radler—yes, the Knock Out® guy—that fans your garden with ruffled blooms of coral fading into apricot and finished with a sunny yellow eye. It explodes in a heavy spring bloom and keeps going with repeat flushes all season. Grace Rose Farm

The St. Lucia Pewee (Contopus latirostris latirostris) is a small, endemic flycatcher, roughly 15 cm in length, found in the mountain forests of St. Lucia. It has a distinct cinnamon-tawny or peach-orange breast, sandy-brown upperparts, a slight crest, and a two-toned beak, often found perched low in forests and catching insects.

One of the cutest little birds I have come across. This was a great birding day on the island of St Lucia.

A small royal blue bird with a rusty red chest and sides and a white belly stands on a thin branch in profile facing the right. He is staring into the distance as though deep in thought while the late afternoon sun glints off his black eye.

Oil on board.

David Austin’s The Lady Gardener® offers soft, apricot blooms in a quartered rosette form, each measuring around 4” across. She is a repeat bloomer with a relaxed petal structure and a gentle fragrance of tea and vanilla. Expect her to perform strongly in zones 5–11. This variety pairs well with both traditional and modern landscapes and does well in beds, borders, or hedges. The Lady Gardener also makes an excellent cut flower. Photo from Heirloom Roses.

Grey-and-Buff Woodpecker.
Male.

This is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia (Sumatra and Borneo), Malaysia, southern Myanmar, and Thailand.

The head appears large because of the slender neck and the large, cone-shaped crest.

Otherwise this area is black

Yes!
Here is a female chowing down

A small gray bird with a black cap and chin, white cheeks, and pale tan underparts sits in profile facing left, head slightly lifted, on a thin branch with orange brown leaves hanging below it against a blurred background of tan and orange.

It may be spring, but some fall vibes are still hanging around.
