Cardinal in the Snow by cindymc

Cardinal in the Snow

I put out some bird seed today on the deck and was waiting to get a close up of a bird. This Cardinal kept her distance and sat on the branch in a nearby tree with the snow falling down.

It was a beautiful snow but unfortunately I haven't been able to get out and get any good snow pictures. It's supposed to snow a little more tomorrow so hopefully I can get out then.
Would make a fabulous Christmas card. I love how just the Cardinal has color and the falling snow is so majoical. Fav.

That's a Christmas card, for sure.
It's exquisite...the foggy grays, the pop of red from the bird and the little twigs and buds.
It's a shame she refused to enjoy your hospitality, but you still got a GREAT shot. FAV!
