Description
A lone Cardinal, stopping by my back deck for a little lunch before enduring the rest of the snowstorm. Several more inches have fallen since this was taken, and more on the way!Related content

Awhh he's so cute, his feet must be cold!
I love the simple contrast of this, it works so well [:

Thank you! I'm sure his feet were cold! If I remember right, that was a very frigid day here!

Hard to believe I've missed this before! Cardinals are my favourite as we don't have them here!
Great shot!

Really? I've been finding several people on here that tell me that. I didn't realize just how many places they WEREN'T! We used to only have them in the winter. Now, you can see them pretty much year 'round. More frequent in the winter, though. I have bird feeders on my deck, so, I've got a sea of red when I look out my kitchen and dining room windows in the winter!

This is a great shot! I've got both a male and female pair of cardinals around here somewhere, but they are proving to be an incredibly hard subject for me to capture!

Thanks! And, thanks for the !
I've got so many Cardinals on my back deck since I put my feeders out, that sometimes it looks like a sea of red out there! Never when I have my camera nearby, though!

You are most welcome!
I am so jealous! We only have maybe one pair at the moment, and they are really good at hiding in the pecan trees!

Thanks, and thanks for the . Unfortunately, It's snowing as I'm typing this! They're calling for around 9 inches of snow today or more, another 3 tomorrow and then, another BIG storm later in the week. Pile that on top of what we've already got...and I'm not sure I'll be able to see my house!!

Couldn't escape the bills any longer! The mailman left them at my MOTHER's house! Can you believe that??!
Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, those Cardinals do seem to have a brilliant red coloring this year. Especially against all of that white snow.

Oh well...they would've caught up with me sometime! might as well pay 'em on time, as to have a late charge added on, huh?!
any snow up there yet?? I've been wishing it that way....we've got even more coming on Monday! I can't remember when we've had this much snow...this often, in this part of the country! I wanna go paint my lawn green, just to pretend it's spring!!

RatofSpring In reply to mim304 [2010-02-13 23:55:26 +0000 UTC]
yeah, that's true hehe
We just got some freezing rain tonight.. :/ not much though..
there's snow on the ground, but not very much (okay, it's maybe a foot of snow in some places, but I want MORE!!)
I wish we had more snow.. :/ Last year we had snow in April, which made me happy ^^ Then again, we also had a green Christmas one year.. :/ weather is weird, but I wish it would snow here more often... I should move north more..
haha, paint the snow green that's would be really cool.

I heard on the news that they are trucking in snow for the Olympics...they can come haul some of mine (or ALL of it) away anytime they want!

haha yeah weather's not very good there right now...
Of course, Vancouver usually has pretty mild weather, but that's more by the ocean. The mountains usually have snow.. I've no idea what's going on with the weather...

I don't think anyone does...especially, the meteorologists! They've just changed our expected accumulations on the next storm from 1-2, then to 3-5, now, they're saying if we get 6-9 inches, that's a low estimate! On top of what we've already got????????? where are we gonna put it all? We really may have to get trucks in here to haul it up to you! We just don't get snow like this around here.

wow
You should haul it up here seriously..
I imagine nobody is used to snow like that... Up here, snowstorms don't surprise us

alright.
and that's why you're in the states - because you don't [usually] get much snow, and you like it that way
