Sights like this definitely catch your eye!
While driving home from town this morning, I couldn't help but notice this. A striking male cardinal was perched in a flowering fruit tree. The wonderful pink color of the blossoms and the bright red bird caused a beautiful combination.
Thankfully, I had my camera with me, so I took the time to spin around and try to capture some photos. I was blessed that the bird had stayed still, and allowed me some quick photos. It seems that the camera was more focused on the flowers than the bird, but they still turned out alright. I wish that I had had more time, but I'm pleased to have gotten the pictures that I did before the bird flew away. Here are some of the ones that I did get. Enjoy!
THE WONDERFUL COLORS OF CREATION!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-the-worst-proof-yet...
Until next time…

Is that a Cherry tree in bloom. I can't even imagine trees blooming right now. It is currently about 40 degrees, windy and we are expecting snow tonight. This winter is "the Thing That Wouldn't Leave". Makes it hard to get into the spring spirit. Anyway awesome photos.

Wow, you all must have a tremendously long growing season. Our peaches are at least a month or more away from bloom.

Proof of the worst proof yet, because the bird flew away. Hahahaha. We understand. That was really a beautiful shot Papa. That is one fine bird. Perfect blend i would say. Having your camera with you ALWAYS, like you said, is for a moment like this. Well done. You have amazing eyes to spot that.
