Cardinal in Snow Shot

I waited a ridiculously long time on my porch while the snow was coming down to get the requisite cardinal/snow shot. One finally came along, but he didn't stay in place very long...so this is as good as it got. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. :)

Three good things:
1. Finding the last 'on sale' sweater in my size
2. Using milk instead of water
3. The little hole at the top of the bathroom sink that keeps water from overflowing
amazing shot love the way the birds colour jumps out at you :)

I think the Mr. Cardinal shot is one of the hardest, probably because he is so nervous about his "kill me now" red color and just keeps flitting around. Congrats on this nice capture.
