some red

I snuck as close as I could to this cardinal that was back lit on my fence by the evening sun.




Then when I went inside I was able to get a couple more through the window while he was at the feeder.


I was so happy to see these boys late Monday night! They had a great time with their grandparents. Apparently, Alec forgot to take the jacket off when he left Michigan. I can assure you if you come to Louisiana in June, you do not need a coat.

I took a few photos last winter of this canoe by our neighborhood lake, but it's much prettier now with green grass in the background.

And one more reddish flower~

  2. We have had some red cardinals around lately, which is very unusual for us, I think they are nesting nearby, but try as I might I cannot get out of the house fast enough when they are around to photograph them. They are so very pretty. Your last shot of the cardinal in mid air is fabulous!

    Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend with those boys of yours.

  13. I'm sorry, I meant to say that I find your pictures are great! To catch that cardinal in action like that is awesome! I have been trying to capture a woodpecker for months. Oh he drives me crazy, lol. So hope with my new camera and patience I hope I will be able to achieve it!

  16. Oh my word! These are wonderful! I have such a thing for red birds. Back during my early days of grief, I was blessed with an entire yard full of red cardinals all at once and ever since they've held a special place in my heart.

    Just beautiful!
