I have been looking through your pictures and they are AMAZING! I especially love this one. The colors look awesome.

Thanks Golda,cardinals always make me think of xmas too.I think it must be their red color also cards and wrapping paper and lots of xmas gifts have picture of cardinals.

Thanks for all the lovely comments.

Cool shot Carol. I like how the pines are tack sharp and the cardinal is in the background slightly out of focus, just watching what's going on. Nice capture, Don

I like the way the Cardinal is peeking through the boughs
