Parrots, also known as psittacines are birds of the roughly 372 species found in most warm and tropical regions. The order is subdivded in three families: the Psittacidae (true parrots), the Cacatuidae (cockatoos) and the Nestoridae. Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found in South America and Australasia. Parrots, along with crows, jays and magpies, are some of the most intelligent birds, and their ability to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Trapping of wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as other hunting, habitat loss and competition from invasive species, have diminished wild populations, and more parrots are threatened with extinction than any other group of birds. “Parrot Portrait ….... ” was featured in I Love Birds

Located in War Eagle, Arkansas, this mill was originally burned during the Civil War by Confedarate troops in order to keep the Union Army from taking it as a mainstay. This is still an operational grist mill and has tours daily.
A dragon fly, sunning itself on the stone wall beside the main (large) pool of the main garden in Mt Annan Botanical Gardens. Extreme provocation was needed to unseat this insect who, it seemed, was quite happy to sit through 20 or more flash bursts, just to warm itself up. I realise this is a living organism, but honestly, it does look like a childs R/C toy copter. To be honest, despite being efficient hunters and magnificently proficient aeronauts, dragon flies do seem as though they were put together in a hurry (quickly mass produced in a factory, ready for the Christmas silly season). Big red fire-engines, with wings, and teeth. They seem to lack that “Finished” quality of other insects, and yet as fierce preditors, they have survived and not needed to evolve a smoothness of lines as have other, less successful insects.

Canon 40D, 100mm macro lens. One summer’s day I was enjoying my wildflower garden, and in particular the poppies, when I spotted an angel. Within about a hour of photographing she was gone. I marvel at the transience of poppies!

/ Something of a departure in style for me
I had been researching Russian constructivist artworks for some time now. In particular, the early Soviet propaganda art posters. Wantting to combine this interest with that of my favourite cult sci-fi shows, Blake’s 7 and Doctor Who, I embarked upon a jouney to seamlessly combine the two passions without compromising either medium in it’s integrity.

Welcome to ‘Colour Me Vibrant Red” a group to share all vibrant red artwork/photos. If you image is a minimium 50% red, or the main focal point is red then you are welcome to submit but please follow the guidelines. (Orange, Pink, Dark Pink, nor Maroon are NOT considered red). Also note that just because a flower, rock, road, etc is named or called red in the title does not warrant the image as a red clarification. Our FEATURED WORK SECTION is a great example of what we are looking for and a way for you to calibrate the colour of your images.
Any images not following the guidelines will automatically be removed without notification. Poems and writings are welcome also but they must pertain to the theme of our group meaning: must include words describing the color red
Please abide by this group’s guidelines
