Good shot! And especially good for you for actually finding a female Cardinal sitting still out in the open. I find that the males have no problem sitting in the open for a photo shoot, but the females are notoriously camera-shy. Good work!
I tell u what Kelly...I am now catching up with your blog posts via an internet wifi cafe... and wow...you are truly a wonderful artist..via the brush and the camera.. Great shots..brings me smiles..
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?

Your pictures are always so beautiful, and I especially love this one. It would make a nice painting.
This does look like a Christmas card. So stunning in its simplicity and complexity at the same time!

Yes its a nice combination Kelly, but we would rather not see anymore of it until next winter.{:)
Oh this is just a great shot, Kelly. Love the Cardinals. Wish we had them here.

Cracking shot Kelly. The contrast between the birds and the background is spot on. Well done.
Really a beautiful photo Kelly!! Cardinals are so pretty against the background of winter snow.
