Spotlight on the elegant Lady Cardinal. . . . . . .



She weathered the storm and seemed quite happy on the now bare fig tree
 awaiting her turn at the feeders.



As the thawing started she still sat patiently - such a sweet bird.




Managed to catch Mrs. and Mr. Cardinal. . . . . . and the little female finch
 popped in for the shot too!
Sunny and bit warmer this morning - hoping for more melting and the roads
being safe so we can venture out.


I'm still having difficulty typing with the shoulder pain - you may just be getting
 photos for a while, sorry.

  3. Lovely pictures, as always - I don't know how you do it, whenever I try to take pictures of animals, they move the other way!

  4. So sorry to hear about your shoulder pain, Mary. It's always nice to read your words, but your photos NEVER disappoint. When it snows I am always on the lookout for cardinals. They look so right in a snowy scene. We hung a feeder here at the new house the day before the storm and are waiting patiently until our feathered friends find it. Hope your pain subsides SOON.

  5. Hope you are staying warm. I just saw online that you had a storm. What beautiful cardinal couple. Snow and cardinals make for beauty in nature at Christmas time.

  9. They are so beautiful Mary! Thank you for sharing. We don't get to see Cardinals on this side of the country. I saw the news about the heavy snow in NC and wondered how you were doing. Looks like all is well.
