For whatever reason, she stopped on a branch about 10 feet away from me and showed me the snack she was taking home to the kids.

Incredibly beautiful, Charlie! I see them out my window on the porch, but can't get to them with a camera. Yesterday both mom and pop were out there. lol Such a clear and splendid shot this is!

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

Supurb capture Charlie! Not only the bird but the tree and leaves which are so sharp and clear and the background blurred - perfect shot!

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"

Female cardinals are usually dull in appearance to me but this one is really beautiful. I love the green leaves as well. great capture.

Well, even though I am three days late, I'm glad I saw this beauty and was able to save it. There's a special quality to this one that is seldom seen. :)

Perfect capture, so clear and colorful. Nice to see one on a real tree instead of all the ones I post on my dead branches. Great work Charlie. Faved.

I'd be willing to bet, that the hardest part about taking photos like this .. is the climbing of the tree and the sprinkling of 'birdnip' on the leaves

unless you just have natural balance
