Red beauty brightening up a winter's day
Knowing there was a storm coming
he munched on sunflower seeds most of the afternoon
and the chickadees darted from feeder to bush
tapping at sunflower shells until they released their fleshy seeds.
I always, always try to look for those 'little' things -- they make up the tapestry of my life and I don't want to miss a single one.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a beauty that cardinal is .....
ReplyDelete(Ha, feeling a bit like him, because I just bought
a fire truck red jacket of my favourite designer
today and matching tights ;-) !)
Penny, that bright little darling took my breath away! good shot! happy new year, sus
ReplyDeleteHow funny, for some reason i thought of you and red cardinals today, that photo is a stunner.
ReplyDeleteI love how cardinals are so vivid on a snowy day, and also a rainy day. Their pop of color always delights.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
That flash of scarlet against the grey - gorgeous!
ReplyDeletestartling red of cardinals are like winter candies! so beautiful. snowing tonight here, too.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish the cardinals would visit our feeder, but I have yet to see one. We did have a red-tail hawk perched on the balcony railing the other day (DH saw it and never thought to get a picture...argh).
ReplyDeleteThe red beauty is an eye catcher, will he find his way into your scratchings?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Penny.
How beautiful! I've never seen one at our feeders. People tell me they do come here but I've never been so lucky as to see one.
ReplyDeleteLove your winter photos, Penny !
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 !
