We had a rainstorm a couple of days ago and last night. The photos below ere taken when we were visiting my father-in-law.
Dad's neighbor's back porch.
Here's the shot of the rain water hitting the ground.
Then the next day when we went and visited him again, I saw this
cardinal. I turned off the fire in the stove where I was
cooking some snacks, grabbed my
camera and snapped some shots of this male
cardinal.
He realized that
chubskulit is stalking him so he flew away.
I was using my point and shoot
camera so the sudden movement of the
cardinal made this
capture.

cool takes!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! We have a couple of cardinals around here, one which is the most adorable little baby. He hops around the patio with his wings spread out, ready for a quick flight if he must. :p

We have a happy couple in our neighbourhood as well, though the female is hard to spot (as it should be). They've been passing through for years, but I've never seen a baby. I think I'd die from the cuteness if I did. My story this week is called Culmen ’79.

ReplyDeleteThe title reminds me of a detective series I read a long back called Cat & The Cardinal.. that apart I just love rains and invariably rush to greet it by getting wet :)
