Impromptu

I’ve been seeing Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal around our garden a lot recently. I had gone downstairs this morning to get more coffee and saw him on our fence so ran to get my camera and just shot without any time to prepare. Right after he flew into a tree, the female appeared in the same spot.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

That's a beautiful bird. Unfortunately, we don't have them out here in California. Great catch! V

For a quick shot, or even not a quick shot, this is beautiful! V
