A Cardinal caught in MID-Jump! Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are. ~Osho
So perhaps levitation is possible. :)

ReplyDeleteI saw a Cardinal female last week. She wasn't as vivid as her male counterparts, but it was still a treat! This is a beautiful shot Kerri!

ReplyDeleteLoved the mid-jump too. Was looking at the image and thought "Wow, that would make a great reference for a bird drawing - but where's the twig?"
