It is not often I am able to catch the Redbellied Woodpecker's really red belly. I believe some people did not know why they were called Redbellied Woodpecker. My photo above shows why..you can see this woodies Red Belly.

I like this shot of the woodie, he looks like his bill is coming out of my screen.
Now for my Skywatch Friday. These photos were taken last week. Our weather has been up and down lately and the sky is either super clear or really cloudy. But on this day I managed to capture some of the more colorful clouds during the sunset.

Some sky shots like the one above I took from my deck.

I like to walk down to the end of my driveway to get a better view of the sky. The trees are really growing and are taking over my view. At least I can see thru them while they are bare.

I hope you enjoyed my Redbellied Woodie and my pretty skies. Happy Skywatching to all and I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend. Thanks for stopping by and for leaving your nice comments.

Hello!!!.. Great pictures and beautiful woodpecker... A regard
Exquisite bird photos! Happy Valentine's Day!
That second photo certainly is 3D, Eileen. Well done on capturing his really red belly. I love your skies too. Happy Valentines Day to you, dear friend. Jo
loving your woodpecker photographs Eileen and your beautiful skies too
Happy <3 Day!! gorgeous shots. have a good day. ( :
Hi Eileen, The sky photos are lovely, very colourful but of course my favourite part of this post is the lovely Red-bellied Woodpecker, so pretty!
As usual I always enjoy looking at posts I have missed since my last visit and was particularly fascinated by the huge Rhinoceros Beetle you showed which actually reminded me of a mini Elephant ;-) I was so intrigued that I looked it up and was amazed to find that proportionally it is the strongest animal on the planet, capable of lifting 850 times its own weight!!! I also read they are sometimes kept as pets which seems sad to me. The very exotic looking birds in that post were lovely too.
I also enjoyed the post with the quotes about Nature. I too like the simple pleasures.
Your 'undesirables' post was fun (I know you love them all really) :-) I call the Starlings bully boys when they visit my garden, sadly though they are nowhere near as common here as they once were.
A very nice new blog look too!

Dearest Eileen,
Wow, what a beautiful colorful Redbellied Woodpecker; sure has a red belly. He or she seems aware of you and being cautious a bit. And GORGEOUS picture of the sky.

Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Your skies are lovely - but it's your Redbellied Woodpecker who steals the show, of course! :-) That second photo is absolutely wonderful! Definitely looks almost 3D - what a beautiful, inquisitive little friend, stopping by in his scarlet best to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
Oh, how I love you male woodie! He needs to come up and visit my girls who are going to have to find a mate soon.
Nice Woodpecker - and good to see how it got its name!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
PS: I have fiddled with my blog template to make the images bigger - let me know if you think its an improvement!
Beautiful colored bird and Happy Valentine's Day.
Your 1st pic is just awesome - I can really see how alert this little bird is! And the fact it's got some red doesn't hurt either ...
Hope your Valentine's Day was great!!
Oh wow, now we sure can see why they are called red bellied!
