I am sitting in my office enjoying the first real snow of the winter here in Minnesota. I can see a pair of cardinals in the backyard. They look so beautiful in the snow - red and regal.
Somehow the Cardinals seem like hope for the cold winter. We have two or three pair that spend the winter here and they always brighten my day. I love to point them out to my kids - and they always say - we know mom, a cardinal - big deal. But I never get tired of seeing them.
They also remind me of my dad, who loved to bird watch. So when I see them, talk to them or acknowledge them to anyone who'll listen, I remember having those conversations with Frank.
Enjoy the snow and be sure to say hi to the cardinals in your backyard.

I liked this post alot! The picture of the cardinal in the snow is very peaceful to me. Thanks for sharing. No snow here in Nashville...only a lot of rain. I can't wait to be back in the Midwest for the holidays. Hopefully with a white Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the cardinal photo. Would it be possible to get a high resolution copy of it? I would love to print it for my Sweetheart. She (we both) love cardinals and she gave me a framed pic, for Valentine, of a female which you can see at: http://gallery.me.com/pruitt#100156 . If possible, please shoot me an email: pruitt@eaze.net Thanks, Bob
