Here's lookin' at you

I was out photographing my neighbor’s day lilies when Mr. Cardinal suddenly appeared and actually hung around for a while. I also saw Mrs. Cardinal, but she didn’t stay, as usual. They definitely live near our house, but I haven’t yet figured out where.

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