Wonderful photo. I grow sunflowers every year. They the perfect flower to winter over every year because the finches love to eat their seeds in the late fall.
Lili...thanks for dropping by! Sunflowers are definitely a passion--for us and the birds! Nature Nut...I'm so getting the itch, but the 30 degrees outside says NO! Kathy...Thank you! ...I'll pass it on to Enita. Kallen...I hope to get some really cute sunflower pics this year...the goldfinch especially love them. Shelley...Thank you! Steve...Thanks...longing for summer and the color... Phil and Mandy....thanks!! Laure...I'm tired of white and grey...need some of the summer colors!!! Warren...I thought the same....such rich red almost lost in the background.
Congratulations for this place, Kelly, it is wonderful, great photos and very interesting. Thanks to all for the comments to my pic. It was a miracle to see the bird so near and to be able to take the pic.
I hand hold the camera for all my photos (I used to use a monopod or tripod for distance and macro, but the VR lenses don't seem to require it). I crop the images down in Aperture (I'm a Mac).
The Story Behind "Red and the Peanut"
Red and the Peanut is named after my first bird memory. When I was about six, I was at my Great Aunt Mary's house and she was telling me about Red and the peanut. "Red" was a Northern Cardinal that had trained Aunt Mary to feed it peanuts on demand. Since Aunt Mary's "Red" started it all, what better name could I choose?

Bird! I love birds and that is a beautiful red one. The sunflower is another passion. Oh, nice!Blossom Blooms
I love growing sunflowers. They are a sure sign of summer and its fun to see the birds enjoy them.
I am starting to get the gardening itch.
Okay I will rank this as my favorite for the week. Kudos to your cousin for a wonderful picture.

Such a beautiful colorful photo! Loved seeing the cardinal poke around in there!
My goodness! What a sight!
What a lovely looking bird, well done.
What a wonderful image with the bright yellow, blue, green and RED!
Now that's a stunning bird. Almost camouflaged against the background.
