Look Up, Down, and All Around

I love spotting a male cardinal, but I don't think of looking down. Yet here was this fellow at the base of an old beach tree.

Nice lesson too remember. Beautiful capture.

How cool is that... beautiful cardinal and the tree trunk... that must be a huge beech tree... the gray of the tree base makes me think of elephant skin. Very cool.

@shutterbug49 @kvphoto Thank you! And yes, KV, this beach tree is *huge.* Elephant skin- I like that! :)

Well spotted and beautifully captured Heather, it’s all about awareness and eyes wide open I find:)

great find!

A wonderful find and capture. I am much more aware of what's around me nowadays and even my daughter when she takes me out points to what she can see.

feels like she is under the elephant trunks.

Lovely colour and nice shot.

This is a wonderful capture. Doesn't he stand out beautifully against the base of the tree (or is it an elephant's foot?) Fav.

Great colour

And he looks beautiful against the neutral coloured background.

@wendyfrost 365 and photography make us more observant, I think. It's fun to see new / more things, isn't it? (and that's cool about your daughter, Wendy :)
