You may kiss the bride

I know there's a lot wrong with this pic, but I love it anyway. I may never get another shot like this with two adult cardinals. That annoying branch in the middle is history. It made me feel good to cut it off the tree.! :0)

Thank you for your nice comments on yesterday's daffodil pic!!! I'm posting early, because I have a birthday celebration to attend. My youngest granddaughter, Natalyn, is six years old today. :0)

[Michael Girard]

You're right, technical faults aside, it's a unique shot, I have lots of cardinals and I've never seen any kissing before. Nice shot QuickDraw! ;)

[Christie Hicks]

I think it's a great shot. Very unique to see them kissing, or passing a seed, or whispering sweet nothings. It's adorable. Glad you posted it. Even if you see a flaw or two, I really don't.

[Kimmi]

How cute!!

[Michelle Bambary]

Such a cute capture! Very cool that you caught this!

[Art]

Bird photography is hard enough as it is, but to catch an action shot that lasts all of a half of a second is a real accomplishment. Your great patience and skill are richly rewarded in this picture.

[Rebecca M]

Very cute!!

[Sharon]

Amazing timing!! You are the master at bird photography!

[C J Riggs]

You are, without a doubt, the world's greatest bird photographer!

Hello stranger - sorry haven't been commenting this week - really busy first full week back at work - everything a bit crazy. Hopefully things will be calmer from here on in. This is gorgeous - I am used to a certain high quality to all your shots - birds, cats, butterflies - you're a professional.
