‘Have we met?’

Our alley cardinal was all over the place today, in my neighbor’s tree, then in his yard, then in ours, then on my other neighbor’s fence. I keep seeing him so often, I decided to give him and all his friends their own gallery.

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

This is so beautiful, Helen. The male cardinals are spectacular and your shot is equally so. V

He certainly looks in his prime for the ladies. He likes to pose for you too.

Love that look. Great shot.

Our Cardinal pair flit about a lot, but always show up at the bird bath right on time, a.m. and p.m. Right now, I have a Mockingbird that's decided to keep the bath to himself, so the Cardinals have to tag team him. One lures him away while the other bathes. Then vice versa. I just love the expression you caught here. V
