I must be dreaming....

I glanced out the door to the enclosed porch to find this cardinal sitting on a snow-covered tree nearby. Unfortunately, I had to take the photo through the screens on the porch, so the quality is not as good as I would have liked. But, I was able to disguise it some with the focal zoom in editing!

Jan word (for the 5th) is bird.

They are such handsome birds! I can't tell you how many times I said, "Processing to the rescue!!". Well done!

@olivetreeann Thank goodness, because these screens on my enclosed porch really messed up my auto focus.

I like the effect. They are such bright birds. I did not know them before 365. Is there a lot in States?

[Lisa Poland]

@yaorenliu They are pretty common here. They are the official state bird of eight different states.

[Sarah Munnings]

Wow that red really pops :)
