Wing and a Prayer

    Don't ask me about the title. . . I just pulled it out of thin air.
    I'm still spending almost no time on flickr - Please forgive my lack of visits to your photostreams.
    Yesterday it got to 70 degrees and today to 65 in St. Louis. I walked 3 miles each day. Ah, Spring !!

      Beautiful! The bird seems pleased with the warm weather too!

    4. Mc Shutter (64 months ago | reply)

      Doesn't look like 70 in the photo.
      Looks like early February chilly !

      Beautiful bird.

      He's so cute and fat.

    11. Artista (63 months ago | reply)

      He's all plumped up to keep warm - which apparently is not your problem right now :)
      Very nicely captured.

      Wonderful photo!

      This is wonderful - we have no birds to rival this here in the UK... and I love the expression you've caught here.

      irresistible beauty and cuteness you've captured here!

    21. mimbrava (63 months ago | reply)

      Marvelous shot, Tim. I'm so jealous you have time to walk 3 miles.

    22. 1life 2live (63 months ago | reply)

      I actually like this one a lot better than the other one! Great job - I love the composition, color and it's really sharp!

    23. majovila (63 months ago | reply)

      Great capture.

    24. Jeff Clow (63 months ago | reply)

      This is a superb nature image, Tim......beautiful use of color and composition, my friend.

    25. Lewesrat (63 months ago | reply)

      Gorgeous red and wonderful composition!

    26. curlyson (63 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful capture nice work !

    27. RachelEllen (63 months ago | reply)

      It does seem colder than 70 in the photo. The photo is lovely.

    28. pj58 (63 months ago | reply)

      beautiful ... both the bird and your photo!

    29. Cukoo Mama (63 months ago | reply)

      I think a vertical shot of the bird would have been less distracting that that long branch but who cares? I LOVE this picture. The bird is just adorable and I think the title is perfect. Cardinal+religion = prayer. The rest - wing+bird = self-explanatory.

    30. The Pack (63 months ago | reply)

      I love these birds, thanks for a peek at a beauty. Great boken too.

    31. CaptPiper (62 months ago | reply)

      Excellent capture. So perfect, too. My cardinal is rather beatup looking.
