These colors are found in nature everywhere we look!
Red-bellied Woodpecker
I enjoyed watching this one work his way up a pine tree in the forest.
And for white, I'll share this section of the trail I was on.
This is a cluster of frogfruit that is growing on a trail of crushed seashells.
It's BRIGHT in the direct summer sunshine!
This airplane was a beautiful blue.
And I saw a couple of Blue Jays too.
And don't even get me started on the flowers!
We enjoy an abundance of color year round here in the Sunshine State of Florida.
Are you having a colorful summer too?

...a fabulous color combination.
I though oh please , not more politics. this was a very pleasant surprise and now I will see nature colors in a different way... beautiful and I think my favorite is the white shell with the frog fruit. did not know the name of it. I have seen it a lot
You've had some wonderful sightings. That plane looks very close! (Or well zoomed and cropped!)
What a vibrant array of colors from nature! The red-bellied woodpecker, blue jay, and bright frogfruit all look stunning. Florida seems like a perfect place for year-round color. I just posted a new blog post: I invite you to share your opinion. Thank you.
Another post with beautiful photos,
I especially like the ones with the birds!!
You know I haven't been paying as much attention to the colors around me. YOu have awakened my senses to start looking. I know I saw a lot of little yellow wildflowers on our walk this morning. I was thinking about the fact that August/September usually start the purple/lavender colored wildflowers, so I will be watching for them. Right now I am just seeing a LOT of GREEN since we've been having so much rain! That is actually a happy color to see! Love your photos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
A wonderful color combination and you did good at finding examples of it in nature.
The woodpecker's red stands out so much
Beautiful colors.
I've seen that frogfruit around but didn't know that is what it was called.
this was a nice walk, i enjoyed the variety of images. awesome captures of the woodpecker and blue jays...the wildflowers are so pretty as well. i am happy for you that you were able to get out for a walk, it must be pretty hot there in florida!! enjoy your weekend!!
I love your photos and I thank you for always taking us along on your hikes and sharing the beauty you find!! Happy weekend!
This is a beautiful series of photos.
The Red-bellied Woodpecker is my favorite this time.
I wish you a good weekend.
Greetings Irma
Beautiful woodpecker - and of course blue jay!
Summer is all about colors.
The amazingly sprawling frogfruit ... what an enduring plant.
What a pleasant walk full of birds and wildflowers. I find the flying bluejay beautiful in an artistic way. I always call my photos like that essence of a bird. Just lovely.
That was a nice post, Diane. Enjoy your week.
The vivid colors of birds and flowers must be one of nature’s most generous gifts — assuming that nature cares what we think, that is. The closer one gets to the tropics, the more color one sees, which means up here in the North we really have to appreciate the cardinal!
What a lovely, thoughtful post you have written.

Wonderful red, white and blue photos, and nice captures of the woodpecker!
Beautiful, thank you!
Great sightings. I love the woodpecker and you captured it perfectly. Enjoy the weekend.

Perfectly patriotic in nature.
Lovely shots! A lot of our colors have faded due to the drought.
Hello.
They are colorful and beautiful birds. Great photos.
Great presentation in this post. I think the Blue Jay tops the blue airplane :) :)
Take care.
I'm pleased for you that the weather allowed you to get out on a trail again. It is still too hot here to go for a walk, and if I did, I wouldn't see a beautiful Blue Jay or a Red-bellied Woodpecker, so thank you for sharing Diane.
All the best
Hugs right back to you :)

Very well spotted and seen!
Thank you for sharing an outstanding selection of summer colors.
Keep your heads down the rest of the day and fingers crossed we won't get too many limbs down or too much flooding.
Darn Debby Downer.
Here's to more color next week for us all!
Diane, Your posts are always interesting. The fun you have on your walks comes through and makes me smile. Thank you for sharing. Hope you and yours have a happy week ahead. John
I saw a big herd of Bluejays here yesterday too, ha ha LOL. FLOCK
I saw a big herd of Bluejays here yesterday too, ha ha LOL. FLOCK! How's the weather doing there????
It is a magical time of year when everything is changing and making for incredible photography!
Beautiful!!! I love how you are capturing the best of summer. :-)
Love, Carla
Tu paseo precioso como siempre. Por aquí el verano con demasiado calor y todo se está secando. Besos.
Your post is so colorful and vibrant!
The Red-bellied Woodpecker and the frogfruit on the seashell trail are stunning. I also love seeing Blue Jays and that blue airplane.
Fantastic photos, Diane!
Hi, beautiful photos, nice birds, colours. I like the woodpecker.
Beautiful photos!
Love the birds, and the flowers!
Have a blessed day!
Hello,
A wonderful capture of nature's red , white and blue colors. I love the woodpecker and the blue jay. Pretty flowers. Sorry I am late visiting and commenting. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Beautiful and an airplane, too!
Your photos are wonderful as always. I actually got out and took a walk the other day. I called a girlfriend and we packed a picnic and went North to a lake that had a nice path along the side of it. It was really nice getting out in nature and Beulah loved it. She loves riding in the car with me too and going places but this time of the year it's just too hot to leave her in the car even to run into the grocery store.
Thank you for the sweet and concerning comment that you left on my blog. Hope you're having a wonderful summer, Connie
