Contrast
- Red on White
There have been times where I’ve seen 15-20 of these guys (male and female) waiting turns to get at the bird feeder. Thing about cardinals is that they tend to be a bit camera shy and it was way too cold out for me to keep standing motionless waiting on the herd to return.
(I know it’s a flock.)
Anyway, I just love the contrast of the brilliant red of these birds with the stark white of snow and barren trees of winter.
It’s day 41 of my go at project 365……
That’s all I really have to say about that. I’ve yet to glean any great wisdoms or similar life altering knowledge from the experience. You can see all of the pictures to date at the three six five page (the link is also at the top) or by heading straight over to my flickr 365 set.
(By the way–full disclosure time. The above photo was cropped. To my knowledge, there is no 365 rule about cropping of photos. Or crappy photos for that matter–good thing.)
Super cool pic! We have cardinal couples on our deck all winter. They are beautiful. Love the color contrast in this photo!

Thanks. I love just staring out of my kitchen window watching the birds. (It sure beats doing the dishes!)
I like it. Looks great.

Just refilled the feeders today. Man those little suckers eat a lot!
We have cardinals who love to sit in our bushes right outside the window. They are such beautiful birds.
I, for one, don’t give a darn if you crop or not!
