The showy Mr. Cardinal and his demure partner

I realized when I was going to crop this that Mrs. Cardinal was under the bench! I don’t think anybody noticed her at the time.

Nice shot Helen. The Mrs certainly isn't the centre of attention here.

What a lovely shot this is! The detail you captured is exquisite, not only on the cardinal but on the lichen too. VV
