Description The crest of the breeding female cardinal is obscured by the cherry flower, seemingly as if worn coquettishly, and indeed the tips of her tail feathers show the wear of her mate's attentions. I was young once myself too, and remember that universal urgency that we simply call, "Spring". Hurray for it. The young male finch looks on approvingly, himself caught in the sexual gravity. Bird stories are hard to tell in a square, but for some reason, I search for them. Hope you like this simple one.

This is a beautiful ode to Spring, sir! I truly love it.

Also, I've been working on improving my own gallery now that I have a camera where I can control shutter speed, aperture, and such. I recall you gave me some pointers long ago, so I thought I'd share that.

Thank you, Sam. It was nice soft light to begin with, which is so good for birds. The trick is to get them hold the pose in it!

I really like this shot a lot. The way she is keeping her balance, how the finch is admiring her. I just really like it.

Thanks, Erin. When you say, "really like", it means a lot to me. Just for that comment, I will print it for my next show. Thanks, pal.
