Cardinals Took Turns

Snow fell hard and fast, whitening everything in her path. Grass, birdbath, bushes, trees, bird feeders, and bird baths all saturated with the cold stuff. The only dashes of color are the black limbs and the red cardinals who are taking deliberate turns at three feeders; the black limbs not nearly as beautiful as the gorgeous red cardinals. cardinals taking turns pretty red blips in blizzard the only color

"Hope breathes eternal"--also in my world. What the heck; like you say, when extra cold times, imagine the warmth or see something brighter: it has helped me--one of the reasons why I write. Great little work! Much said with few words.

Thank you Joe. It is BRRRR cold here, but the red cardinals continue to show us their color.

How beautiful your imagery of the red cardinals in the crisp white snow, bringing to life your snow scape like a most exquisite painting. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

It is gorgeous out there, but I am staying toasty and warm inside - every once in awhile I look out to see those beautiful diving red cardinals.

Red Cardinals are beautiful what a brilliant contrast they must make with the white snow. Blessings, Jennifer.

They are the only REAL pop of color out there, and they are delightful.
