Nothing can beautify a late winter day like a cardinal.
Everywhere they go they create instant beauty.
What is HE looking at?

Great pictures Bethie. He obviously loves your yard art! I haven't had any Cardinals around my yard this winter...I wonder why?

What a beautiful sight Bethie, and the Cardinal is not half bad either  Joking aside I really wish I had those little guys around where I live. I wonder what is the evolutionary reason for their bright red colour?

He's obviously inspecting your work to see if he approves!!!  He also apprears to know just where to land to show his plumage of to its best advantage. Thanks for sharing your lovely piccies with us.

Don't you just love those beautiful red birds! We have two pair on our acre. Each pair can live on 1/2 acre without grand territorial battles until one male drives the other off.

I love that first picture. He picked a place to land that would show him off to the best advantage didn't he?
Love that mosaic urn he is sitting on too.

Nicely caught, Bethie, I particularly like the first,
. . . or maybe I'm just lusting after the beautiful mosaic??

Great shots! Wonder if he was attracted by the color on your urn? It's a really stunning mosaic!
