Thankful for the birds...and the color red.


Every time I catch sight of this cardinal 
waiting for some inner all clear to swoop
down to the feeder, I stop breathing for 
a moment.  His red is simply amazing 
among all the subtle shades of grey.

  1. This is simply gorgeous. The cardinal takes my breath away. There is something about his red beak too - he has a red accessory (like a glove or a hat!) to go with his coat! What a beautiful bird and a wonderful photo.

  2. what an amazing photo you managed to capture. the balance of wild texture and grays behind this solid fat red shape of a bird. and the third element of the twisted wire he sits on makes this so graphically appealing. and clear. like you(the one watching) and he(the one being seen) both MEAN wholly to watch and to be seen.
