Pretty Bird

#18 Top 20 Week 224

It was my goal today to take a picture for the day in my own back yard with my Canon PowerShot SX40, so thank you Mr Cardinal!

I see so many gorgeous shots on here taken with Canon PowerShots SX40 and SX50 (you know who you are!) and I think maybe I didn't give mine a fair chance before I thought I had to have a more expensive camera and lens. I love my EOS 70D but need to take a class on how to use all of its features.
