Male Cardinal - That Windblown Look

This male cardinal reminded me of the pic of the woman over the
grate in the sidewalk that gets her dress blown up....here his
feathers are getting "blown up".
I know I post a lot of cardinal pics - but they are just so photogenic!

  3. With the wind so strong

  4. So adorable! Do you think he's cold? He seems very placid to me, just patiently waiting for spring to arrive. Lovely!

  8. HAHAHAHAHAHA! This photo made me laugh out loud, I love it! He actually looks flustered to me, like he is probably in a hurry and about to be late for a very important appointment! :o)

  12. This Cardinal is beautiful, Kerri.
    You can never post too many of them for me, we don't have them here in Ireland, and I'm always aws-struck at their beauty and vibrant colour.
    Thanks for sharing, I'll go visit your shop now.

    I used a male Cardinal for Ruby Tuesday on my Misty's Words blog too. However, it doesn't come close to comparing to this awesome image.

  19. Oh it makes him look so fluffy. Cardinals are difficult to photograph.. that bright red tends to bleed some. Yours is just perfect!

  23. You certainly did capture the "wind blown" moment! It's always a bonus when we can catch an unusual pose.

  24. These poor little birds of ours are just hanging on for dear life in order to have a decent meal. The weather is bitter lately.

    I hope your parents are okay Kerri. Everyday with them certainly is a blessing.

    Lovely shot!

  26. I love cardinals. I almost think they are my favorite because of their color. This little fellow looks so sweet.

    Always a blessing to spend time with your parents. I pray your visits are a blessing to them as well. Take care.

  27. Such a happy-making photo! We don't see cardinals here in our garden, so I really love seeing other gardeners showing off photos of them.

  33. Oh my gosh....I LOVE, love, love this photo. Marilyn Monroe has nothing on him with his updraft!!

    ReplyDelete

  34. So this is Marilyn Monroe in red? Cute! It definitely looks fluffed up. The red is so bright at this time of year.

  35. You're right: It just about impossible to pass up a Cardinal shot when one presents itself -- and this is another great one.
