How about a splash of color via Mother Nature on this Sunday? I was at a neighborhood park in Sarasota earlier this week poised with my camera patiently waiting for an owl to return when this handsome fellow showed up. He certainly seemed ready for his close up. Who was I to turn him down?!

He is a beauty, and what a perch for that model photo.
Very distinguished. We have them here, but generally only see them during winter at feeders, and even then, mostly in the countryside.
We have a cardinal family in the bushes right outside our office window. Love them. This is a gorgeous photo!
Great shot! I had to travel to Arizona to see my first -- any only -- views of cardinals. They're not a West Coast bird.
That's fantastic!
What a beauty! He looks so proud sitting on that perch.
Because of our war with squirrels and the dirt they leave behind plus the uninvited rabbits, we stopped feeding birds last fall. I missed the Cardinals this winter and cursed the uninvited guests even more vigorously when they were scampering around our yard, leaving poop that our dogs used to love until we stopped that rodent parade. Much to my joy, a Cardinal has returned this spring to use our bird bath! Love your photo.
What a colourful wee bird SRQ, a Cardinal? Even if the owl you were waiting for didn't show, you had a lovely win here.
