I have had a rough past week as you notice I have not been too active here at Caedes lately. My vehicle has not started for a week...got it in friday to mechanic...it is an ongoing problem I have had with the ignition. Then late last week my dog "Hanna" got sick and has to have surgery this morning. And this weekend has been spent digging out of major winter storm, as anyone in eastern North America is aware of. Have not been out taking pictures, and not able to get out to my beloved Nature Preserve..anyways have been editing some old pictures and will post some of them...this is a picture of a Male Cardinal taken over a year ago...

I hope Hanna gets well, soon. She is such a beautiful dog. It doesn't look like all that hustle and bustle affected your work.
You got such a wonderful closeup you can almost hear what he is muttering under his breath.

I love cardinals. They are the state bird of Ohio. This is a beautiful picture. It's a crisp and clear shot of the bird.

Fantastic cardinal, Gerry. One of the best! Was your lens set at 300mm for this one? My wish for you is that things start looking up,

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I hope by Christmas that things will be looking up for you and I want to thank you for taking the time out to send this beautiful pic of one of my favorite birds. Just love their song and bright appearance!!

Sorry to hear about all your misfortune Gerry. Hope Hanna gets all right. I love Cardinals as you know. This looks like a St. Louis Cardinal that got caught in jet stream and ended up too far north. His tuft of feathers seems flattened, unless this variety doesn't have top notch. Excellent photo and framing is good. It should fit in real nice with your series. Happy Holidays.

I cannot beleive you never posted this. I love it. Perfect pose and frame. Hope you get out soon, but isn't nice to have old ones like this to post. I have done it before too.
