Day 27 - Mr & Mrs

The cardinals have been coming to nibble on the seed bells we hung and every time I try to get a picture, they fly off. I finally lucked out today when the Mr. & Mrs. opted for some acorns on the deck. Not as focused as I'd like but not too bad considering I took them quick through Lew's office window.)

I think you managed quite nicely, Marianne. Lovely.

Awww, they're so sweet! I know the male is the brighter, supposedly prettier of the two, but I think the Mrs. is just adorable. Great job catching them. :)

I love cardinals. Birds are not easy to get shots of...really nice capture!

We have a lot of cardinals too, and man, those little buggers are fast! I can barely get my camera in focus, even when I'm standing there prepared, before they fly away. They're fast, but so beautiful :)

Great shots, Marianne! Love that you got them both :)

This made me smile. Cardinals & bluebirds were my Gram's favorite birds, and when I see them now, I always think of her. =)
