Flash of Red, Literally and Figuratively

I had several ideas for today but in the end went with the more obvious choice as I was able to get a six word story out of it as well. The cardinals in my yard seldom sit still long enough to be more than a FLASH of red! perfect for the day don't you think?
Nice capture of the cardinal

@randystreat It runed out better than I expected because he was so far away
@amyk I think I caught him eating which makes them stay just a second longer for a photo
@onewing thanks Babs It might be a seed instead of a smile @ludwigsdiana It sure looks like it doesn't it Diana? thanks
@koalagardens that makes me so happy Katrina

What could be more perfect for a flash of red than a cardinal? Were you just lucky to catch him, or did you stay by the window, camera in hand, in anticipation?

Great flash of red! I shot a picture of a cardinal too- but mine was way less animated!

@mcsiegle A little bit of both Mary They come to the yard all day but getting one in a good pose with some decent light requires some patience. So glad you like it
@olivetreeann Thanks so much Annn If I hadn't seen the cardinal l was going to shoot the picture you put on my claendar for February . I LOVE that one! It is the light writing in Smithfield with the heart shape and the fabulous silhouette

@grammyn That's my granddaughter Leigh's silhouette- she's really good at light writing! Glad you like it.

@olivetreeann I thought I remembered you telling us that when you posted the original. In my mind it’s a perfect photo for so many reasons.

Hi Katy. I selected this great image and caption as a finalist in the SIXWS-147 competition.

@johnfalconer hi John! I’m honored that you think it was good enough for that. Thank you so much.
