Good Morning, Sunshine! by cjwhite

Good Morning, Sunshine!

I was out and about early this morning. I captured this female Northern Cardinal on some dried pokeweed. I guess the berries are still good, because she was having a berry breakfast. I thought she looked really pretty in the sunshine. :0)

Thank you so much for your comments and faves on yesterday's pics of Fuzzy and Blue Clouds!!! My 365 friends bring sunshine into my life everyday! :0)

@digitalrn Thank you, Rick! I don't know if you know or not, but today is Nikki's birthday. :0)
December 30th, 2011  
@cjwhite No I did not know that. Oh that calls for something :)

She is nicely framed by the branches.

She's so pale. If it weren't for the beak you'd never know she was a cardinal. She must have her winter coat on.

@nikkers Thanks! Jeff was telling some of the family at Christmas that my camera is named Nikki. He had to explain that it's not named after our daughter-in-law named Nikki, but after my 365 friend who posted about the great Black Friday deal on it. :0)
