This gorgeous Red Tailed Hawk posed beautifully for the camera in Guelph Ontario Canada and the colorful fall foliage was the perfect background. The Red Tails are very large raptors and usually sit near fields with their eyes focused on the ground looking for moles and more.

The Tulips,Tulipa were first discovered in Persia and Turkey. They got their name from the Latin word for turban because Turkish men adorned their turbans with tulips. I don't know anyone that does not love Tulips, whether they are in bold or subtle colors like these pink and yellow Tulips.
