Mrs. Cardinal

These cardinals are very skittish and hard to get a good shot of. So when I saw her from my kitchen window, I slowly unlocked the side door, (looked again from the window), then ever so quietly opened the door (look again), opened the door enough to squeezed through (looked again) then poked my camera out to get this quick shot before she flew away.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

It's a beautiful capture. If I didn't know cardinals to recognize that beak and tuft, I might not have known what sort of bird it was.

I love the sense of mystery you've enhanced in this through your processing -- wonderful!
